Gideon Nxumalo is the second South African jazz musician featured on Daily Groove Club - Abdullah Ibrahim's being the first. He's also the second South African jazz musician I know of 😅
True to its name in both form and spirit, Gideon Nxumalo’s 1962 Jazz Fantasia is a key document of modernist South African jazz. Vital, ambitious, consummate in conception and execution, it is perhaps the crucial small group recording of the early 1960s, and one of the few complete sets by a small modernist group to have been released on LP during these years.
