African Jazz Pioneers

African Jazz Pioneers

Band, *1950 ZA
Jazz, World and Folk

The African Jazz Pioneers is a South African group which espouses the music of the fifties, fusing big band jazz with township marabi sounds. The band has endured, in fact this is the third generation Pioneers, and now has a younger face and a younger sound. Bandleader and saxophonist Bra Ntemi Piliso, who penned most of the Pioneers' songs, opened the field of composition to the band's younger musicians.
