Tete Mbambisa - Tete's Big Sound flac album

Profile: South African jazz artist. Tete's Big Sound (Album).

Returning hero: After a 20-year absence Tete Mbambisa is back with a new album, Black Heroes. With that phrase, Mekoa invoked one of the biggest jazz hits of 1976: the composition Black Heroes by pianist Tete Mbulelo Mbambisa, which first appeared on his only big-band album, Tete’s Big Sound. Now Mbambisa has ended a 20-year recording drought with a solo piano album bearing the same title and carrying two versions of the melody. In 1976, those heroes had a many-layered identity

Bra Tete is joined by fellow South Africans, saxophonist Bra Barney Rachabane (Hugh Masekela and Paul Simon) and drummer Ayanda Sikade (Zim Ngqawana and Thandiswa Mazwai). Playing alongside this all-star South African line-up are three outstanding British artists, Julian Arguelles (tenor), Chris Batchelor (trumpet) and Steve Watts (bass). All three have been heavily influenced by exiled South African jazz musicians in London; now significant stylists in their own right they perform in South Africa for the first time  .

Tete Mbambisa composed four of the six tracks on the album. Of the two others, the title track is the work of tenorman Duku Makasi. The other track is a standard, Love for Sale, also frequently covered by Makasi’s contemporary, the equally important Winston ‘Mankunku’ Ngozi. The album, recorded at the EMI Studios in Johannesburg – they had the best sound at that time, recalls Mbambisa – was the brainchild of two important jazz organisers of the era: Ray Thabakgolo Nkwe in Johannesburg and Monde Sikutshwa in Port Elizabeth (PE).
