  • Summary

  • In this latest episode, I talk with South African saxophonist and composer Linda Sikhakhane, who honors and pays homage to the great elders and master musicians, including Brian Thusi. Sikhakhane, who was raised in Umlazi township, talks about the cultural aspects of being Zulu and the importance of preserving his culture. He shares about his time attending The New School, learning from the likes of Billy Harper and Reggie Workman; he touches on his relationship with mentor and fellow South African Nduduzo Makhathini, a jazz pianist. African cosmology is discussed. Finally we land on his latest album, iLadi, available now on Blue Note Records.
