• Formed in 1959, the Western Jazz Band was both a band and a social club, many of whose members originally came from the Western Province of Tanzania.

• Our selection showcases songs from 1973 – 1975, a time when their singles were hits throughout Africa and even compiled on LP in France, now a cult album for collectors.

• Their unique 'saboso' style features crisp clear guitar work, but in common with some Western rock bands their lead guitarists too often fell prey to alcoholism and mental collapse.

• Diligently re-mastered from earliest available sources, these songs of happiness, poison and ululation … are accompanied by a booklet with rare photos, detailed notes and lyric translations.
