The life of Johnny “Mbizo” Dyani (1945-1986), bassist with the legendary South African jazz troupe the Blue Notes, is celebrated by the reissue of two recordings dating from his period living in Sweden. “Rejoice”, culled from a live concert with trumpeter Mongezi Feza and drummer Okay Temiz, and the studio recording “Together” featuring Dyani’s group Witchdoctor’s Son, were issued posthumously, the latter in 1987, “Rejoice”a year later; both are treasured collectors’ pieces in their original vinyl formats.

Cadillac is proud to make these available again, this time as a 2 CD set, as the first release in its 40th Anniversary Series. Both recordings have been carefully remastered from the original tapes; “Rejoice” is further enhanced by an additional 20 minutes of music from the same concert.
