Blue Notes – Blue Notes For Johnny (LP)

Blue Notes – Blue Notes For Johnny is a powerful and deeply emotional tribute album by the legendary South African jazz group Blue Notes, honoring their late bandmate Johnny Dyani. Pressed on vinyl, this essential release captures a rare 1987 live performance filled with passion, loss, and musical brilliance.

Blending spiritual jazz, free improvisation, and South African folk influences, Blue Notes For Johnny is both a celebration of life and a moment of collective mourning. With soaring solos, intense group interplay, and a palpable sense of urgency, this recording stands as one of the group’s most vital and heartfelt works — a must-have for fans of politically charged, emotionally resonant jazz.

Lovingly reissued by Rokus Records, this LP is an essential document of resistance, memory, and transcendent sound.
