. Standing in the lineage of South African greats such as
Louis Moholo-Moholo
,

Elvin Jones
,
Max Roach
, and
Art Blakey
. Since his international debut on Jazzman Records in 2014 with
Project ELO
, Mogorosi has been in the vanguard of the South African creative music scene's burgeoning outer-national dimension, taking the drummer's chair in both

formation and with avant-garde noiseniks
The Wretched
, who featured on Brownswood's acclaimed South African showcase, Indaba Is. Where
Group Theory: Black Music
moves an established format dramatically forward is in the addition of a nine-person choir. Their massed voices soar powerfully above every track as a collective instrument of human breath and body, and enter the album into the small but significant number of radical recordings to have used the voice in this way, such as
Max Roach
's
It's Time
(1962),
Andrew Hill
's
Lift Every Voice
(1970),
Billy Harper
's
Capra Black
(1973), and
Donald Byrd

Reza Khota
, pianist
Andile Yenana
, and vocalists
Gabi Motuba
and
Siyabonga Mthembu

Lesego Rampolokeng
. For fans of:
