In no book of the history of jazz will you find any mention, let alone a chapter, about an exciting own style of jazz developed in Africa in the early 1950s - in Bulawayo to be precise, economic heart of then Southern Rhodesia now Zimbabwe and gateway to and from South Africa. This is a grand omission. Here, finally, is the evidence. The dominant figure in the Bulawayo scene was August Musarurwa. Here he leads the Cold Storage Band and the Chaminuka Band. Includes tracks by the Los Angeles Orchestra, De Dark Brownies and the Umtali Chipisa Band. NETHERLANDS. SWP RECORDS.
