Bulawayo Jazz (Southern Rhodesia, 1950, 51, 52) (Sharp Wood / ILAM)
$17.99
The record label says: In no book of the history of jazz will you find any mention, let alone a chapter, about an exciting 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.
