Rare photographs from iconic SA jazz group The Blue Notes

.

“The Blue Notes embody the beauty of South African jazz in the 1960s, and the dynamics of its struggles during and against apartheid,” read the programme notes. The Blue Notes began after a meeting between pianist and alto saxophonist Mtutuzeli ‘Dudu’ Pukwana with pianist Chris McGregor in 1959. Musicians came and went at first, but by 1964 the other four members were cemented: Louis Moholo-Moholo on drums, Nikele ‘Nick’ Moyake on tenor saxophone, Mongezi Feza on trumpet and Johnny Mbizo Dyani on double bass.
