About this ebook

Bheki Mseleku is widely considered one of the most accomplished jazz musicians to have emerged from South Africa. His music has a profound significance in recalling and giving emphasis to that aspect of the African American jazz tradition originating in the rhythms and melodies of Africa. The influences of Zulu traditional music, South African township, classical music and American jazz are clearly evident and combine to create an exquisite and particularly lyrical style, evoking a sense of purity and peace that embraces the spiritual healing quality central to his musical inspiration. The Musical Artistry of Bheki Mseleku is an in-depth study of his musical style and includes annotated transcriptions and analysis of a selection of compositions and improvisations from his most acclaimed albums including Celebration , Timelessness , Star Seeding , Beauty of Sunrise and Home at Last . Mseleku recorded with several American jazz greats including Ravi Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Pharoah Sanders, Charlie Haden, Billy Higgins and Abbey Lincoln. His music serves as a vital link to the African American musical art form that inspired many of the South African jazz legends.

Jazz Migrations: Music crosses boundaries between traditional and modern, local and global, personal and political. Take jazz — a musical form born out of forced migration and enslavement. We typically think it originated in New Orleans and then spread around the world. But today, we examine an alternate history of jazz — one that starts in Africa, then crisscrosses the planet, following the movements of people and empires -- from colonial powers to grassroots revolutionaries to contemporary artists throughout the diaspora. This history of jazz is like the music itself: fluid and improvisatory. In this hour, produced in partnership with the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes (CHCI) — a global consortium of 270 humanities centers and institutes — we hear how both African and African-American music have shaped the sound of the world today.

Tub Talks featuring Orville Peck: Country Music Artist: Join us as we get to know my good friend, Orville Peck. In today’s tub, we go through Orville’s journey into a music career from growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa to touring as a drummer in punk bands. As Orville found his personal style as a musician, his unique low-toned voice led him to country music where he has created his own lane of contemporary country music that honors tradition and artistry of the genre. Naturally, Orville’s creative journey has also been one of self-acceptance, as a gay man in a traditionally straight music genre, Orville has often dealt with being put in boxes. Orville's story is one of resilience, embracing his true self, and pushing boundaries in the world of country music. This conversation is filled with wisdom, humor, and personal history. So please enjoy soaking in a little bit more intimacy with Orville Peck.
