djjazzyjohnson guys i really love this album. such rich variety of jazz and different moods, all blended with beautiful African Rythms. thanks a lot!! ❤️ Favorite track: Kaira (Peace).

Philip Graham Whew, what riches here in this sampler of South African jazz! Every track stands out, and Sathima Bea Benjamin's 21 minute "Africa" is a true spiritual jazz masterpiece, unfolding with one satisfying variation after another, held together by her soulful, keening voice (play this track LOUD). Favorite track: Africa.

I heard Unwritten Rules on the radio and thought "I never knew Afrobeat could be this deep". And that's only one of the flavours these guys do. There are hip-hop, funk, and drum & bass elements in here too, all delivered through the organic medium of improvised jazz. Great work, people. rufusdos

smooth yet frantic afro jazz with real contemporary drive. pushing the envelope, ridding of the clinical academic austerity but embracing the warm free spirit of ancestral jazz and bloodlines. Rebel Up SebCat
