The legendary 1974 recording Mannenberg 'is where it's happening' by the South African jazz legend Dollar Brand is no longer in print, but this collection includes both extensive tracks from that original release. "Mannenberg" and "The Pilgrim" provide a glimpse of the master at close to his best, and as a bonus, some of the most solid playing by Basil Coetzee ever recorded. (This recording was released briefly in the US in the late 70's as Cape Town Fringe.
In addition to the complete Mannenberg recording, there are 4 additional titles: "Black Lighting," "Little Boy," "Black and Brown Cherries" and "Ntyilo Ntyilo." 62 minutes of some of the best South African jazz ever made.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
