We’re excited to announce major updates to our beloved South African Jazz Rock Discography 1959-1979 page, originally created by dedicated music collector Tertius Louw way back in 2001. This comprehensive resource covering South African jazz rock from 1959-1979 has been given a fresh new look and enhanced functionality that brings this incredible musical heritage to life.
What’s New?
Improved Visual Experience The discography now features enhanced, high-quality images (where possible) that showcase the iconic album artwork from this golden era of South African music.
Integrated Spotify Playlists We’ve embedded the actual albums that are available on Spotify throughout the discography, allowing you to instantly stream the complete recordings as you browse. No more wondering what these legendary albums actually sound like – now you can listen while you explore.
YouTube Playlist Integration For albums not available on Spotify, we’ve integrated YouTube playlists so you can still experience the music. This ensures comprehensive audio access across the entire discography.
A Testament to Musical Heritage
Tertius Louw’s original 2001 list remains the backbone of this resource – a labour of love that documents the jazz-rock fusion movement when local musicians blended international influences with distinctly South African sounds, creating something entirely new and groundbreaking.
Visit the updated SA Jazz Rock Discography page and embark on a journey through two decades of innovative South African music.
Special thanks to Tertius Louw for creating this invaluable resource back in 2001 and his ongoing dedication to preserving South African music history along with Marq Vas.
Looks exciting! JRat
