Saturday Sounds - Bheki Mseleku

This week's musical treat doesn't feature an album or a concert, but a musician, South African pianist and composer, Bheki Mseleku, who, sadly, died in 2008. I first heard his music on SiriusXM, the song "Vulkani" from his album, Timelessness, and immediately wanted to hear more. 

He's a pianist very much in the mode of McCoy Tyner (a good thing in my books) and a talented composer. His music incorporates African rhythms, hard-bop tonalities and strong melodies, Spotify has several of his albums and I've linked to Timelessness below. I hope you like it as much as I do. It's a perfect antidote to the onset of holiday musical sludge that we're inundated with this time of year.
