Jazz All About Jazz Jansen and Coetzee both double on flute, with Morris Goldberg playing a second alto, and the horn-and-piano call-and- response is enchanting. "Sweet Basil Blues," dedicated not to a future New York club but to Coetzee, is a sort of swinging mbaqanga, inducing golden horn harmonies and joyous burbles from Beukes' bass. Coetzee establishes his unique voice here, his burr and sass contrasting with Land Brand's moving harmonic modulations suggest a prayer for things and folks living and dead. www.allaboutjazz.com /southafrica/raredollar.htm   (1560 words)
