My Heroby The Blue Notes

Artist Bio:
The Blue Notes were a South African jazz sextet that formed in 1963 in Cape Town. The original members included Chris McGregor, Mongezi Feza, Dudu Pukwana, Nikele Moyake, Johnny Dyani, and Louis Moholo. They were known for blending traditional African music with avant-garde jazz influences, creating a unique and innovative sound.

The Blue Notes gained popularity in the local jazz scene and eventually moved to Europe in the late 1960s, where they became an influential group in the British free jazz movement. They released several albums and performed at various festivals and venues throughout Europe before disbanding in the early 1970s. The Blue Notes left a lasting impact on the jazz world, influencing future generations of musicians with their boundary-pushing style and fusion of different musical traditions.
