The Blue Notes were a South African jazz sextet, whose definitive line-up featured Chris McGregor on piano, Mongezi Feza on trumpet, Dudu Pukwana on alto saxophone, Nikele Moyake on tenor saxophone, Johnny Dyani on bass, and Louis Moholo-Moholo on drums. After moving away from their home country in 1964, they established themselves on the European jazz circuit, where they continued to play and record through the 1970s. They are now considered one of the great free jazz bands of their era, whose music was given a unique flavour by their integration of African styles such as Kwela into the progressive jazz ideas of the time.

  • The Blue Notes era un gruppo sudafricano che fondeva il jazz alla tradizionale musica kwela sudafricana. Fu fondato a Città del Capo nel 1962 dal pianista e compositore sudafricano bianco Chris McGregor (1936-1990), che mise assieme un gruppo di musicisti di colore. Fu un riuscito esperimento di coniugare le sonorità africane con il free jazz americano. Dopo il trasferimento in Europa, divennero uno dei gruppi di punta del free-jazz britannico. (it)
