"Witchdoctor's Son" by Johnny Dyani with John Tchicai and Dudu Pukwana on SteepleChase SCS 1098

A great title on the SteepleChase label.

Fantastic title by Johnny Dyani with John Tchicai and Dudu Pukwana. The music is so full of life and joy. The style is a mix of different stuff. It’s very rhythmic and I think of African rhythms in particular at different points. We also have some sporadic vocals present on a couple of tunes, which is a rare occurrence on records in my collection.

Found this one and a couple of other gems in a local store which I hadn’t heard of before actually. So satisfying to buy something in a physical store rather than online, which I’ve been doing a lot through the years.

I’ve been getting in some albums on SteepleChase which is a lovely label based in Denmark. So much great stuff to discover in their catalogue. I have several albums on that label dating back to when I first started buying jazz vinyl. Will have to browse through my collection and see what pressings I have. Haven’t played them for a very long time.

Anyway, highly recommended album which is a bit different to the rest of the stuff I have.
