Quite frankly, i believe the greatest jazz record out of Africa is Winston Mankunku's Yakhal' inkomo. South African's refer to it as their 'Kind of Blue"

Check these ones out, may help, like them all myself
   Also Dibango's "Negropolitaines" VOl 1 and Vol 2 ( maybe difficult to find as when I searched for covers not much there. Personally I preferred Vol 2 but 1 is great as well)  Edited by Matt - 14 Sep 2018 at 2:43pm |

Hugh Masekela is probably one of the most famous African jazz men.

The rhythms and general organizational approach of jazz all comes from Africa, but as far as jazz with pronounced African elements, there is plenty.
Most of the African jazz on this site goes in the World Fusion genre. You can search through here and find plenty: Edited by js - 14 Sep 2018 at 1:54pm |

Not essentially within the genre tag of "Afro-Jazz", but any album of any style of jazz which is considerably influenced by Africa in any way. Do you know of any?
My latest discovery which I'm enjoying now is this:  |
