    I saw Ezra, Winston Mankunku and Jonathan Butler play most Saturdays in the late 1980s. Cliffy Moses and the Four Sounds were often the house band. Venues were Brass Bell, Landrost Hotel and Club Montreal in Manenburg. Wonderful memories!

    Ezra, tenor and soprano saxophonist and his older brother Duke Ngcukana, trumpet/flugel horn were two of the greatest jazz jazz musicians in Cape Town. They were also academic in the sense that Ezra graduated with a BSc honours and later MBA, his brother was always a high school teacher in maths and science. It goes without saying that they were both geniuses. They performed with a of other great jazz musicians of Cape Town, Winston "Mankunku" Ngozi, Metton Barrow, Chris Schilder, Mitch Pyke, Bugs Gonco, Lous Moholo, Max Dayimani, Mafisto Ndingane, Cliffy Moses, Willie Nettie, etc. Their father, Chris Columbus "Mra" Ngcukana was also great saxophonist/composer who played with Chris McGregor and the blue notes where he was inluential as a baritone sax player and assistant composer/arranger. Ezra was more a jazz sax player than a composer but it amazed a lot of music lovers when he took a Xhosa hymn in 1989 and arranged it into a jazz hit song, with a kind of blues/spiritual favour. It is also amazing that he and his brother were more like the American jazz brothers, Cannonball on alto sax and Nat Adderley on trumpet inasmuch as they played together a lot. Cyril Ngcukana is a cousin who started playing piano in the late 1970s. Ezra and Duke are the real products of 'Apartheid" and they rarely left South Africa but when you listened to their playing they were like any other great jazz players in America, they mastered their instruments and the art of jazz improvisation. The great Mankunku Ngozi respected them a lot as fellow great musicians. I myself I have been inspired a lot by them in the late 70s when I decided to be a jazz saxophonist. Ezra would tell me to come at 6 a.m. to his house for saxophone lesson and I would protest and he would tell me, he wakes up at 4 a.m. everyday for his Science studies, and if I come after 7 a.m. he would be gone. He was a gentleman, nice and friendly, though. He was like smiling all the time!!! May God bless his soul.

    The late Ezra was a JAZZ musical genius and for those not in the know, also a highly qualified Maths Teacher for senior high school grades, so absolutely no fly-by-night at all.
    As a Capetonian i.e born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa and often personally interacting with the late Ezra, was a phenomenal and life changing experience whilst I was still a marine engineering student in the late 1970's.
    The likes of Ezra, his brother Duke, Winston Mankunku, Robbie Jansen, Tony Schilder, Errol Dyers, and groups like Pacific Express, Spirit Rejoice, plus many others were not only legends, but also spreading the liberation message of the day, in the deep dark, oppresive apartheid days of South Africa.
    Lets salute our late heroes and this song will forever be etched in the minds of many enlightened comrades not only in South Africa, but universally. It is the intensively truthful intensity and conviction emanating from the song, that will draw us together, irrespective of creed, background or whatever percieved negativity.
    LETS ALL DROP THE ARTIFICIALITY AND BECOME REAL.
    PEACE and BLESINGS to ALL - WE NEED IT.

      One band you left out is Drive that was rebuilding after losing members in a car accident. They were a resident band at Goldfinger night club for a long time! And then there were others like Victor Ntoni and Nzi Nettie who played a mean trombone

    Amidst the political turmoil and chaos of the late 80's, there resonated out of the townships a vibrant jazz scene whose sounds, so soothing and melodious, defied the knife-edge atmosphere of the time.
    The year was 1989 and the sounds of the struggle reverberated across the country.
    It was the year that I bought the new Ezra Ngcukana album and heard Ezra and his brother Duke transform a Xhosa hymn into this magnificent piece. A piece, that as I hear it now, takes me back to my 1st year at university where the iron fist of apartheid; its casspirs, sjamboks, rubber bullets and tear gas was met defiantly and courageously with clenched fists, toy-toying and protest songs.
    The title of this song "You Think You Know Me" struck a personal note to me as an ode to the apartheid government who systematically wished to reduce our identities to a mere classification of our race.
    I remember the anger we felt. Our country would be liberated we believed; at any cost and by any means possible.
    More than 3 decades later, when I listen to this hymn, I am reminded of the journey of all the souls of that time.
    We sadly lost Ezra in 2010, at the age of just 55.
    But he left not without legacy and not without inspiration.
    Ezra always lamented that he was a part time musician, as unlike the jazz scene in America, jazz musicians could barely make a living here in South Africa.
    Speaking of the situation that African musicians faced, he said
    "That's how it was in Cape Town -- nobody was a professional musician. They had two careers -- the 8 to 5 one and the evening."
    If you were black, there were few opportunities to earn a living in Cape Town solely as a musician.
    So Ezra and Duke pursued their studies full time and made music in their spare time.
    Ezra ended up graduating with a BSC and a B Comm. Duke became a teacher and taught Math and Science and became deputy principal at the school he taught at. Further testaments to their genius.
    I will always be thankful that as a student, I was transported to another world, away from the chaos and turmoil by these 2 students, the Ngcukana brothers. ❤

      Cape Town don't promote musicians well
      They have to come to JBG to be known. EG dollar brand, Brenda fassie, Ringo madlingozi, Lundi and others
      These are great musicians, if they didn't come to JBG, it'll be another story

    I believe Jazz music is for people who are mature in music. It does not draw energy from you, but it relaxing and soothing. I love jazz big time

    I only knew the title of this song at the memorial service of the late Ntemi Piliso of the African Jazz Pioneers in 2000, Bro Max Mojapelo introduced the Ngcukana Brothers to the stage, Ezra and Duke nailed it once more. Two years later I found this album. A great collection, not only the song the whole album. I love this song it reminds me of the best years of radio Setswana dramas. It would play at the background. That's how I was introduced to the song.
