About
For this live recording at London's Cafe Oto (14 April, 2017) the veteran South African drummer added a new name to his already illustrious quartet that had recently made the Four Blokes album, to create the Five Blokes band.
Shabaka Hutchings' powerful saxophone assault further ramped up the controlled fury generated by Jason Yarde, Alexander Hawkins, John Edwards and Louis. An evening of highly charged music-making. Press play for Uplift.
