Gideon Nxumalo's 'Gideon Plays' might just be the most mythologised and sought-after LP in the whole South African canon. A sophisticated bop excursion with a distinctive African edge, it was only Nxumalo's second LP as leader, despite his crucial place in South African jazz history. Originally released in 1968.
