This CD contains the very first recordings of the Blue Notes, the legendary South African modern jazz combo that featured the talents of pianist Chris McGregor, trumpeter Mongezi Feza, saxophonists Dudu Pukwana and Nick Moyake, and drummer Louis Tebugo Moholo. The racial situation in South Africa forced the Blue Notes to leave the country in 1964. They wandered through France, Switzerland and Scandanavia before settling in London, where they were to have a profound effect on the British jazz scene of the late 1960s. This material was recorded in Cape Town in 1964.
