Not only did the South Africans embrace Jazz but also the clothes and the cars. America became synonymous with the apparent success and sophistication of the African-American lifestyle. The next in the highly successful "Natural"series. Natural Jazz pays homage to the America and South African Jazz artists who were the pioneers of their time on one CD for the very first time.
