Review:
The second solo album from one of the world's most gifted young pianists, the late Moses Taiwa Molelekwa. Genes & Spirits is an album of contrasting moods and textures, from the staccato phrasing of Down Rockey Street to the stark lyricism of Sogra (Mmatswale/Mamazola). Infused with 'ubuntu', the intensely spiritual quality of black community life, this album pays its respects to South Africa's jazz past - but it has its feet firmly on the road to the future. — CalabashMusic.com |
