Multipolar with Steve Dyer on The K Jazz Show

Loading player...
It’s always special when we welcome back the giants of our sound, the elders who continue to move the language of jazz forward.

Our guest needs little introduction; he’s a saxophonist, composer, producer, cultural thinker, and one of the most profound creative voices in South African music.

The last time we spoke, he had just released Enhlizweni, a record that dug deep into our spiritual and musical connectedness.
And now, he’s back with Multipolar, his 11th studio album, a sonic meditation that jazz writer Gwen Ansell describes as ‘not American, copycat, or retro,’ but absolutely of this place and of this time.
