Mike Makhalemele & Winston 'Mankunku' Ngozi - The Bull And The Lion
Bringing together Johannesburg's two saxophone titans for a supergroup
recording project was a visionary move by Jo'Burg Records in 1976
Following the success of Makhalemele's debut The Peacemaker and Mankunku's
long-awaited sophomore release Alex Express, which both appeared in 1975, the
bar had been set very high. Enamoured by their jazz contemporaries, the session
was concocted by members of an exciting new South African rock group called
Rabbit, who formed a backing group consisting of guitarist Trevor Rabin, bassist
Ronnie Robot and drummer Neil Cloud alongside jazz pianist Tete Mbambisa.
