    Mankunku Quartet Yakhal' Inkomo (Deluxe Half-speed Remastered Edition)

    Mr Bongo
    • Mankunku Quartet – Yakhal' Inkomo
    • Mankunku Quartet – Dedication (To Daddy Trane And Brother Shorter)
    • Mankunku Quartet – Doodlin'
    • Mankunku Quartet – Bessie's Blues
    • 1. Yakhal' Inkomo
    • 2. Dedication (To Daddy Trane And Brother Shorter)
    • 3. Doodlin'
    • 4. Bessie's Blues

    Saxophonist Winston 'Mankunku' Ngozi's 1968 masterpiece Yakhal'Inkomo stands in the front rank of global jazz recordings. A certified jazz classic in South Africa, but like so many other crucial South African jazz LPs, it was never released outside the country, and went unheard at the time by the wider world. Highly recommended!
