UMDALI
by Malcolm Jiyane Tree-O
supported by 13 fans who also own “Music”
One of my favourite albums in the last couple of years. Malcolm Jiyane is an unselfish bandleader who gives all the musicians space to shine, so it presents very much as a band album. Very accessible, but has deceptive depth and gets better with every listen.
