Drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo is a musician with a very special relationship with UK jazz fans. Fleeing, as Louis calls it, the ‘heavy manners’ of 60s apartheid South Africa , he headed to England in 1964 along with the rest of his band The Blue Notes....
Last November Louis celebrated his 70th birthday with a special concert at the Purcell Room in London – and you can hear it on tonight’s programme. Split into two halves, the night began with an intimate duo between old friends as Louis and pianist Keith Tippett took to the stage. In a set of high energy improv the pair showcased an expansive understanding of each other’s playing developed over their 40-year musical relationship.
C90s at the ready!
