With billows and blasts from choirs and orchesters
Buskers and talkers
Big bands and squawkers,
the Stork Club has retained its qualities of decaying elegance and dwindling significance since the late 1950s.

July 18, 2021: Mthutuzeli Dudu Pukwana
A celebration of the life of Dudu Pukswana and the many musical forms he took. From bop and kwela to rock and elsewhere - a member of the racially integrated South African jazz band The Blue Notes - when such a thing was illegal, he went on to play in Blue Note pianist Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath, formed his own bands (most notably Assagai, Spear and Zila), and recorded with ensembles combining the finest musicians in South Africa with the greatest and most adventuresome British musicians in the 60's through the 80's. He lived to perform at Nelson Mandela's tribute concert at Wembley Stadium in 1990. Heroic music to shake the Stork Club dance floor.

"Chris McGregor's group performs at the Castle Lager Jazz Festival at Moroka-Jabavu Stadium in Soweto."
Moroka, the name of a stadium in Soweto. Not Maroco, a North African country. Maybe i was the only one confused but sharing what I found.

Anyway, I'm sure I've heard Dudu before, but, never having listened to him knowingly, I find myself (not for the first time at the barkeep's place here) newly in love. If only he'd got to play with Dodo Marmarosa and Didi Bridgewater…

It is with a heavy heart that I take my leave for so freakin long. September 5 is gonna be a great day - if only for me. Take care, be fun and have well - or something. Mwahs!!!!!
Jeff Moore:
I've been a (completely un-knowledgeable) fan of Dudu P ever since I let our streamfather Doug loose to control the stereo when there was a conclave of Drummers at our house for dinner, and then I chased down some of the people he'd played... and I bought the few really readily available recordings with Pukwana's name on the band, but I wasn't aware of all the other groups he was in.
Like... I'm pretty sure that in my most recent show I played at least one Dudu Pukwana album and two Chris McGregor ones, without actually having a clue that DP was probably a tentpole member of the band in the latter records.
Always educational, this saloon.
