Dudu Phukwana and the "Spears"

Regarding the 2020 reissue, Jazz Journal's Brian Morton wrote: "The South African influence on British jazz is immeasurable and still evolving. The reappearance of this now-remote LP marks a moment for new reflection on a complex legacy, and a story criss-crossed by hope, tragedy, great longing and an irrepressible zest for life and music." Writing for UK Vibe, Brian Homer noted the album's "compelling historical and cultural value," and remarked: "If anyone thinks that no jazz these days can make you feel good and want to get up and dance then they had better listen to this record... All the music is impressive, insistent and infectious... It's worthy of being a museum piece except that the music is too alive and vital for that." ==2020 reissue track listings==
