Keeping Time: 1964 – 1974 The Photographs and Cape Town Jazz Recordings of Ian Bruce Huntley

Description

This book celebrates the public emergence of an extraordinary visual and audio archive that was initiated by Ian Bruce Huntley in Cape Town fifty years ago. The previously hidden archive documents accomplished South African jazz musicians pushing the creative envelope and entertaining appreciative audience and sheds light on a little known era in South Africa’s musical history, documenting an ‘underground’ jazz scene that persisted in creative defiance of any hindrances presented by the apartheid regime.
In addition to a biographical sketch of Ian Huntley, the book offers a substantial essay by Jonathan Eato as well as a full discography of all the recordings by Huntley.
