Winston Mankunku Ngozi – Yakhal' Inkomo

Winston Mankunku Ngozi's 1968 quartet album takes its title from the bellowing of a bull, and the title track is one of the most loved pieces in South African jazz. The influence of John Coltrane's quartet is clear, but the melody and mood are rooted at home. Listen for how tightly the piano, bass and drums move with his tenor saxophone as the intensity builds.
