Prince Nico Mbarga & his Rocafill Jazz band released this album in 1977 on the RAS (Roger All Stars) label. The most catchy tune is the highlife “soaked” tribute to Neka Okonkwo who died in 1976 & was wife to Roger Okonkwo owner of the RAS label. This is a rare vintage album.

The album “Miles Ahead” was Miles Davis’ first big band orchestra recording, arranged by Gil Evans. He was on flugelhorn instead of the usual trumpet. Produced in 1957 it’s one of his earliest ones. He did not like the cover photo & it was changed in subsequent releases

John Coltrane (Trane, 1929-1967) is one of the most famous jazz artists ever. He released the studio album “Africa/Brass” in 1961 as an ode to Africa’s influence on music. He used a “big band” approach with brass instruments eg euphonium. The song “Africa” is a must listen

Nduduzo Makhatini @nduduzomakh (South African pianist) has been my vinyl playlist every morning for the last 4 weeks. His music is calming & reflective yet powerful. This is his latest album “Unomukhubulwane”. He autographed my copy at his show in Ronnie Scotts London in May 25

@CanaryMugume Where public restrooms do not provide for religious beliefs that require water for ablution, it is expected that such "solutions" will arise.
