Item Description
For “Afrika”, South African expatriate bassist Johnny Dyani enlarged his group to a septet from the quartet formation he had used on prior Steeplechase recordings and, in the process, shifted gears slightly from the deeper, beautifully bitter songs that had been his forte (such as “House Arrest” on Mbizo) to a somewhat lighter fare, replete with catchy, skipping melodies and funky electric bass.
Johnny Dyani – Bass, Piano
Charles Davis – Alto Sax
Ed Epstein – Alto & Tenor Sax
Rudy Smith – Steel Drums
Thomas Østergren – Bass
Gilbert Mathews – Drums
Thomas Dyani – Congas
