It was on the 27th August 2024, when we learned of the ascension of one of South Africa’s prolific jazz drummers.
Makaya Ntshoko played with Dollar Brand's trio in 1958, and recorded in a sextet with Hugh Masekela and John Mehegan in 1959.
He performed on The Jazz Epistles album, Jazz Epistle: Verse 1 and he was also a founding member of The Jazz Giants with Kippie Moeketsi, Dudu Pukwana, Gideon Nxumalo, and Martin Mgijima.
Ntshoko left South Africa in 1962, moving to Switzerland and playing with Johnny Gertze and Dollar Brand at the Club Africana in Zurich from 1963 to 1965.
He ultimately settled in Basel, Switzerland and went on to release music as a leader, side man and collaborated with Johnny Dyani, Mal Waldron, Ben Webster and many other jazz greats.
We gather this Sunday with South African Drummer and grandson of Makaya, Kanu Ntshoko as we pay tribute to this giant of South Africa’s jazz music, in a conversation we call, Remembering Makaya Ntshoko
