| Description | That Ku-Ku Bird With The Mean Sax Back With A Bang: Winston "Mankunku" Ngozi, the little man with the big horn who came from complete obscurity and almost brought the Johannesburg jazz scene crashing down with his soulful playing. "There is a little [man] from Cape Town who blows a mean sax. Man, hear that cat. You won't believe your ears," the story went the rounds when he invaded this 'Joburg. And a mean sax he blew. For his first LP record Yakhal' Inkomo sold like hot cakes on release. Later he joined forces with the Chris Schilder trio also from Cape Town and what a whacking package it was. The four produced a smash best seller called 'Spring Time'. |
