You ain't gonna know me 'cos you think you know me - Louis Moholo

[@grittychris]

this is one of my favorite recordings of all time

[@petertaylorarts]

Agreed. It's one of those rare pieces of music that makes me smile whenever I hear it. Solid gold.

[@uykupa]

My Dad used to play this on repeat.. Growing up I couldn't "stand" Jazz, only because I couldn't understand... Now it's the only music I resonate with

[@nynnil5680]

I used to listen it in Tanzania

[@nynnil5680]

He is the best drummisist south Africa produced

[@lwazibangani]

[@wangangcwayi9420]

[@TebogoMothiba]

It's the year 2020, and we're still on this musical/spiritual movement

[@crazyarms]

This trombone is on a god level of perfection…👌🏽

[@cargumdeu]

Thanks KZbin for putting me onto this. I dont know who you are out there and under the mask, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You may not be religious but you're doing God's work in the sidebar.

[@gbaleng2954]

The basics of Jazz❤❤oh what a lamentation 🙌🏾

[@KoloLibetso]

I have been following OUR KINDA JAZZ, but this one is the masterpiece. I was a young boy attending Castle Lager Jazz festival Orlando Stadium. Man we had good artist.

[@OsofoGriot]

I only found this song in 2024, after a group of now friends played it at a fundraiser for families living under zionist occupation. Their song was the end of a set which followed testimonies from the families; and this song was like a commitment to victory, to resistance, and to hope. I hope this song feels like hope and joyful resistance for anyone who needs it.

[@siddiqkhan7393]

This song makes me cry tears of joy. Spirits Rejoice!

[@umeshraga8977]

I rejoice from deep within my African roots to be able to listen to this tune...

[@МихаилОрлов-и4м]

Greetings from Russia!:) The greatest song, I've been going through life with it for many years

[@REDNOVA1]

Play it for Putin- maybe he’ll finally grow a heart.

[@fttcoop5341]

I'm in a mood, listened to this 4 times today already, and it's only noon.

[@danieluselmann1034]

This is a very beautiful and powerful masterpiece of Jazz.

[@Unzido]

I remember playing this song at the Jazz fest in G-town, in like grade 10... like almost 7years ago, but i played the "You think you know me (but you will never know me) taught by Duke and Ezra Ngcukana... those were the times hey...

[@cassiuslambert2022]

[@ThulaniNxumalo]

too cool, what instrument were you playing?

[@derelictcottage]

Like! That word has a meaning. None of which apply in your grade 1 English

Seven bars of joy.

[@Trainwhrek]

[@aimtoplease5858]

Solid groove

[@mashotomabutla6444]

Spiritual healing, healing my inner self

[@yvonnedausab3797]

I love the title.

[@ustwoalberts]

played in his memory, but written by Mongs himself.Lovely, innit ?

[@umtata]

Play this at my funeral and I’ll live a happy death!

[@siddiqkhan7393]

Thank you for sharing this amazing music. A small correction: this song was written BY the late great Mongezi Feza, NOT "in memory of". Respect!

[@joannaevans3908]

Hi Siddiq, do you know of any recordings of Mongezi Feza playing it?

[@diggingtreasures]

finding this made my day thank you Oneiricist!

[@skhumbuzomnisi4987]

Hypnotic tune this

[@pathoplastic2]

Thank you... What a tribute! I'd get this one out for any I love... Most obituaries make me sick and angry... Usually those w/ the most power get to punctuate an individual's life... "He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past' F*ck That. A spirit cannot be channeled into a pithy three sentence summation... By a bunch of vultures. Just stick this on repeat for eternity.

[@poeterocknatsu06]

un régal ! ***

[@sgeir]

Marvellous track! I could be wrong about this and don't want this to seem picky but I think it was originally written by Mongezi Feza rather than for his memory.

[@crazyarms]

Hi, did you ever find out if Mongezi Feza did write this wonderful tune ?

[@RAHSband]

Yes, this is Momgezi's tune. Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath recorded it live in 1977 after he had passed away. Hear them on Procession Live at Toulouse on Ogun OGCD 040.

[@crazyarms]

Pat Moriarty thank you so much, I will listen to your recommendation :- )

[@oaklandsfarmschool8791]

It is in fact a well known hymn in South Africa, Mongezi "wrote" it as a conceit hence the title.

[@daigreatcoat44]

Not vinyl - but there's a version on the other "Spirits Rejoice" album, by the Dedication Orchestra, on Ogun. Well worth hearing - I don't know whether it's still available.

[@db1958]

Got to see the Orchestra twice in Vancouver, BC - incredible lineup of musicians and two wonderful evenings of music. This song was a highlight. I think Alan Tomlinson and Paul Rutherford shared trombone duties on this song.

[@mairepcod4063]

Thanks,

[@lubabalomkiva8515]

Wow

[@edsel2222]

this is great, thank you!

[@kubaka8539]

I want it to be played on my funreal - additional 7 minutes with my cold carcass equally positive and irritating, but at the end of the day You know: itwas a good day!

[@triadicmemories]

[@jamesbailey9720]

According to the credits, this was written by Mongs himself.

[@RovingArtist]

Does anyone know where I can get piano sheet music for this!?

[@inflatedear7131]

Wondering if it's the same Nick Evans who played with soft machine for a while.

[@marwhaanlodewyk8158]

I'm guessing it is, just because I see Keith Tippey there as well ! ( I'm a big Canterbury fan😊)

[@Skhangiwe]

Does anyone know where i can download/buy this song?

[@michaeldikotse3571]

This is here for easy pacticing, read if you want sorry: You won't ever know me, you won't ever know me, I can feel your hand shake like icecles homie, Problematic stance bust it down into a stogie, Known to hash it out with a control freak, (let it breath), Whatcha talkin bout cause you ain't fooled me, Basicly, you think you knew, every human off a news week; And because my clothes stink; You won't never give a man a second chance!, Well I demand a fucking friend, it's my collective, here it is, A little piece of my perspective, hairless, Odd animal, and without fear, I can't exist, So when you come in careless, and every man, wana throw down like a night mare, well that's just common sense, Look in the mirror rite now, and it's kinda prison, Thinkin all this weight brought me down, but it's kinda physics, So I clear my head out, don't forget the mission; Impossible, had it scince a problem child feeling so unstoppable, Lord please, help me wash my ego out, Everytime he thinks, he wants to shout, and I'm down to let him drown, (I don't want to be anyone special; I just want to make something, sound good, Anything, in fact, if I can get you in a, bright mood.) This is what I want, and I'm acomplished,. left on my own to my only options, uh, A Little stay, a vay cay at the hospice, Hoes pleas, hoes splice them knees I need to see a little sod, yes, This grass is green, the gas has left me unconscious, I rock like pete, and peter slick the dick rick, was feelin sick, I filled in for his spot, yes, I fuckin tone it down, I'm still printyng, what a process, I quit my job today, A little pre emptivly, but I can't have half ass atempts tempting me, to take a temporay position back, aim legendary, and at least land, higher then the settle, very early, sedemtry, value, Never worried, positive, that I'll hit where it is. Its like, All I ask for is a moment, And, both of your kidneys. Lol
