Duke Ngcukana, a Cape Town Jazz legend, passed away on April, 16th.
In every note of his soulful flugelhorn playing you could hear what a genuinely warm person he was. He was also an excellent educator: without him (and his late brother Ezra) no award winning "Little Giants", no IMAD (Institute for Music and Indigenous Arts Development), and also no MAPP (Music Action for People’s Progress), or no Choirimba (the Langa Adult Choir featuring a Marimba- and Jazz-Band).
We send our most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
