Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) became Hotep’s mentor during his formative years after they met at a High School jazz concert in Athlone, Cape Town, and it was this kind of support that nurtured Hotep and brought him to the attention of other players in Cape Town.

With Zim Ngqawana (flute, sax), Marcus Wyatt (trumpet, horn), Victor Masondo (bass) and Kevin Gibson as his band, Hotep Idris Galeta’s piano gets the necessary variation around it to truly make the tracks on 'Malay Tone Poem' shine.
Hotep has been a mentor to many a South African pianist and has played extensively overseas, so it’s good to see a solo album on a local imprint for the man.
The lazy, oozing title track should draw you straight into the heart of this learned, accomplished jazz album, before the funky 'Monk in Soweto' drags your ass up from the seat to grind some fl pepper-shaking into the stew.
