Cooper-Moore & Stephen Gauci

A conversational duo between two idiosyncratic voices of the American avant-garde and Ndikho Xaba¡¯s unique blend of American spiritual jazz and South African traditions.

A conversational duo between two idiosyncratic voices of American avant-garde, pianist Cooper-Moore and saxophonist Stephen Gauci. Their relaxed and colloquial sound was developed while performing weekly during a seven-month residency at the Happylucky No.1 gallery in Brooklyn.

Elsewhere there¡¯s a new quartet album recorded live by the trumpet and flugelhorn player Charlotte Keeffe and a reissue from 1971 by pianist Ndikho Xaba. Ndikho was an exiled South African musician who moved to the U.S. and made links between the struggle against apartheid and the Black Power movement, blending jazz spirituality of the late 1960s with an African jazz tradition.
