The Jazz Show – Episode May 29, 2023

The Jazz Episles were a very short lived Jazz group from South Africa. They were inspired by Art Blakey`s Jazz Messengers and like the early Messengers, they were a co-operative band. The band was the brainchild of pianist Dollar Brand, who after his conversion to Islam became Abdullah Ibrahim. The others in the band were Kippi Moeketsi on alto saxophone (sometimes called the Charlie Parker of South Africa), trombonist Jonas Gwangwa, trumpeter Hugh Masakela. bassist Johnny Gertze, and drummer Makaya Ntshoko. The album was recorded in Capetown in 1960. Sadly due to a variety of circumstances this was their only recording but it shows the strength of the spirit of Jazz that a recording of this quality could be made under the repressive circumstances of apartheid South Africa. The tunes include a trio track and a piano solo track by Dollar Brand. An ensemble tune by Brand and one tune by Hugh Masakela and one by Jonas Gwangwa and three by Kippi Moeketsi.

Gwangwa: Jazz legend kept flame of SA music alive

Daily Monitor
Sunday January 31 2021
Summary
Fare thee well. The South African trombonist and composer Jonas Gwangwa, 83, was an ambassador for his country’s music and an advocate against apartheid. He died on January 23, the same date (but in 2018) that his cousin Hugh Masekela also passed on, writes Sam Mathe.

Jonas Gwangwa, 83, was a trailblazing musician, cultural ambassador, activist, father figure and guiding light who mentored a generation of notable artistes on the contemporary SA jazz scene.
South African president Cyril Ramaphosa led tributes, saying:
A giant of our revolutionary cultural movement and our democratic creative industries has been called to rest; the trombone that boomed with boldness and bravery, and equally warmed our hearts with mellow melody has lost its life force. Jonas Gwangwa ascends to our great orchestra of musical ancestors whose creative genius and dedication to the freedom of all South Africans inspired millions in our country and mobilised the international community against the apartheid system.

Joni Mitchell put it best in
Big Yellow Taxi: “Don’t it always seem to go/ That you don’t know what you’ve lost/Till it’s gone.” So it is with the passing of Jonas Mosa Gwangwa. Only now, after a full week of sadness and tributes, does it even start feeling real that there will be no more new songs from the mind, voice and trombone that gave us

Tributes continue to pour in for legendary jazz musician Jonas Gwanga, who died on Saturday. With more than 30 years in the music industry, many are honouring the trombonist for his contribution to the struggle for freedom in South Africa.
Gwagwa is amongst some of the best artists to come out of South Africa.
In 2010, he received the Order of Ikhamanga, which was bestowed on him by former President Jacob Zuma.
Named after the South African indigenous flower which grows in the Eastern Cape, the Order of Ikhamanga is awarded to South Africans who have excelled in fields of art, culture, music, journalism, and sport.
