Mongezi Feza

The South African trumpet player Mongezi Feza (1945-1975) guests on several Wyatt records. He is on "Rock Bottom", "Ruth is Stranger than Richard" (composed "Sonia") and the live album "Theatre Drury Lane".
If you can take some noise, please check out the Norwegian album "Two bands and a legend, featuring Cato Salsa Experience and The Thing with Joe McPhee", on Smalltown Superjazz. They play Feza's composition "You Ain't Gonna Know Me ('Cause You Think You Know Me)", and also covers PJ Harvey ("Who the fuck?"), James Blood Ulmer ("Baby Talk), The Cramps ("I can't find my mind") and Richard Berry ("Louie Louie").
