In The Spirit Of Ntu

CD (Item 127274) Blue Note, 2022 — Condition: Used
Out Of Stock

CD

✈
An even more powerful set than the Blue Note debut of South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini – a set delivered in response to all the recent struggles in his nation, and put together with all the righteous energy of similar projects from the 70s! Makhathini is way more than a pianist here – as although his instrument is important to the sound, his overall vision is more so – directing a lineup of players that includes Linda Sikhakhane on tenor and soprano, Dylan Tabisher on vibes, Robin Fassie Kock on trumpet, and Gontse Makhene on percussion – working in this sense of flow that swings between rhythmic and melodic, intense and more speculative passages. Omagugu sings on one track – the beautiful "Mama" – and other titles include "Nyoni Le", "Re-Amathambo", "Abantwana Belanga", "Sense Nina", "Omnyama", and "Ntu".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
