My non-profit helped sponsor Bokani Dyer's upcoming trio album "Traditions." The first single "Thembisa" is out, and it's an absolute gem.
For my money, Bokani Dyer is the best living pianist in #SouthAfricanJazz and should be a pianist on everyone's radar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcLg...

We played some of Bokani Dyer's music in #SouthAfricanJazz on SiriusXM Real Jazz in advance of his US tour next month. I was reminded of this interview he and I did for AAJ back in 2018 - been a few years since then, but I think it's still a worthwhile read. www.allaboutjazz.com/bokani-dyer-...
