“The life of Johnny “Mbizo” Dyani (1945-1986), bassist with the legendary South African jazz troupe the Blue Notes, is celebrated by the reissue of two recordings dating from his period living in Sweden. “Rejoice”, culled from a live concert with trumpeter Mongezi Feza and drummer Okay Temiz, and the studio recording “Together” featuring Dyani’s group Witchdoctor’s Son, were both issued posthumously, the latter in 1987, “Rejoice”a year later; both are treasured collectors’ pieces in their original vinyl formats.
Cadillac is proud to make these available again, this time as a 2 CD set, as the first release in its 40th Anniversary Series. Both recordings have been carefully remastered from the original tapes; “Rejoice” is further enhanced by an additional 20 minutes of music from the same concert.”
