Nduduzo Makhathini

The Myth We Chose, the entrancing new album by South African pianist Nduduzo Makhathini, foregrounds hope and healing, and a conviction in the redemptive power of connection. It's a song-forward statement for Makhathini, who is also a composer, vocalist, and philosopher,. He joins Josh Jackson for an onstage conversation about ritual, responsibility, and the reason he prefers the term “encounter” to “discovery” when it comes to a person's formative contact with improvised music.

The South African pianist and Zulu healer guides us through a meditation on stillness and an invocation of Blackness.
