Track list for the Cape Jazz Volume 5 announced.

Hamburg 10/10/2018 - Delayed release.

After months of recording, mixing, compiling, editing and publishing paperwork, the track list of the fifth part of this album series has been fixed. The album is entitled, CAPE JAZZ PIANO.

The tracks were sent to the download server in the USA together with the sleeve front on the 1st of October. There was a bump in the road as one of the pianists, Mike Perry has the same name as a DJ who is apparently quite famous, and their legal people have set up a block on the name. We are clearing this as I write.

There are 10 main tracks as solo piano and a bonus track by a trio.

Jack Momple - making more Jazz history

Bild
Hamburg - May 2018 Jack Momple on the 5th Edition of the Cape Jazz album series. Jack Momple (drums) and Mervyn Africa (piano). (c) P Lee-Thorp Jack and I go back to the days of Pacific Express in the mid-1970s and I know him as a creative and dependable drummer and a gentleman. I work with him at every opportunity I get. Being a drummer Jack did not qualify to contribute to a compilation featuring the solo piano but he is the musical leader of the band behind this project so I invited him to sit in with Mervyn Africa to record a couple of versions of the two of the classics of the genre - 7th Avenue (he actually played on the original of the song recorded by Jonathan Butler) and Abdullah Ibrahim's, Mannenberg (which featured Monty Weber on drums on the Dollar Brand original). The two musicians jammed together in the studio on various takes of the two songs with the idea of using one of the tracks as a bonus cut on the CD version of this album. Two of the takes we

Kyle Shepherd - Cape Music Warrior

My experience of KYLE SHEPHERD. Kyle Shepherd in the studio April 2018, (c) P Lee-Thorp Kyle and my youngest son were at school together and when Kyle started to make waves in the Cape Town jazz scene my son reminded me that Kyle's performance abilities go a long way back. I only got to work with him in 2007 when he was gigging with one of Robbie Jansen's band line-ups. In fact the first gig he did for me was at a jazz festival in Malaysia, in a slot that was meant for Robbie. Due to Robbie's lung problems, he was not allowed to travel, so the band under Jack Momple's leadership, later to become known as the Cape Jazz Band (CJB), were booked to take to the slot. That event was followed about a year later with a short tour to France where Kyle recorded a couple of songs and appeared with Jack, the late Alex van Heerden and bass player Jonathan Rubain, in festival shows. At one of the recording sessions the band recorded a version the Cape traditional, Die Maa

Ibrahim Khalili Shihab - Chris Schilder - Jazzman

23/1/ 2019 My experience of Ebrahim Khalil Shahib (only part of his story) Ebrahim Khalil Shihab in the studio Cape Town April 2018. (c) Patrick Lee-Thorp I first ran into Chris Schilder (as he was known then) in 1975 when he had teamed up with two of his wonderfully talented brothers, Jacky and Philly, for our company to book them for gig at a “homeland” Casino in the north of the Republic. Only once they had got back and I had sat with him and his piano, did I fully realise who I was actually dealing with. I was already something of a fan because I had an LP of his. This self taught pianist with an amazingly fluid style was also a natural composer who I felt was going to make a mark on South Africa Jazz. As it turned out it was a soul ballad, Give a Little Love , that made him famous, at least in the music business. But the depth of the rest of his work at the time put him on the road to becoming a respected jazzman. I only know part of the history, but it was
