Bokani Dyer, Kenny Barron, Claudia Acuña, Vusi Mahlasela & More

Click the play button to listen

This week we focus on emerging musicians from South Africa, and on a number of recent releases showcasing the many facets of a living master of the piano, Kenny Barron, featured as solo artist on a rare recording date as a leader, as accompanist, as a composer that inspired other contemporary musicians, and as a side-man in a very bop-oriented concert which was recently unearthed.

Happy listening!
