Hop aboard the “Night Express“ with Black Disco and embark on a groovy journey through the vibrant sounds of 1970s South Africa. Led by the soulful melodies of Basil Coetzee’s saxophone and the infectious rhythms of Pops Mohamed’s organ, this album is a testament to the eclectic musical landscape of the time.
Recorded in 1976 at Gallo Studios in Johannesburg, “Night Express“ captures the essence of the era with its fusion of jazz, funk, and soul influences. From the smooth grooves of “Yasmeen’s Blues“ to the hypnotic title track “Night Express,“ each song on the album is a sonic adventure that transports listeners to a world of rhythm and melody.
Backed by a stellar lineup of musicians including Sipho Gumede on bass and Peter Morake on drums, Black Disco delivers a captivating performance that is both timeless and innovative. With tracks like “Super Natural Love“ and “Echo On The Delay,“ the band showcases their mastery of groove and improvisation, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.
Produced by Rashid Vally and reissued in 2016 with restored audio by Matt Temple and Chris Albertyn, “Night Express“ is a must-have for fans of Cape Jazz, Jazz-Funk, and everything in between. So sit back, relax, and let the music of Black Disco take you on a journey through the night.
