Bheki Mseleku – Celebration

Recorded at Abbey Road with a stellar group of British and international collaborators including Courtney Pine and Steve Williamson, Celebration marked the triumphant arrival of a multi-instrumentalist visionary. Mseleku plays piano and saxophone simultaneously, yet the album's brilliance lies in how generously the rhythm section interacts. The music flows with spiritual buoyancy, linking Zulu vocal chants to rich post-bop ensemble harmonies.
