Followed by this great UK Fontana Kirk compilation. 

J C Moses with Kirk on Cabin in the sky. Wow, what a drummer. Shame he died so young.

For some reason this Wayne Shorter session has been off my radar for a very long time. It’s very, very good. Classic Shorter I’d say.

Like you, I first heard Kippie Moketsi through Ibrahim -- and Basil "Mannenberg" Coetzee too.  

I'm no expert on Cape Jazz, but I like Tshona very much.  You can give it a listen here:  https://as-shams-busy-bodies.bandcamp.com/album/tshona

Beside the 'timeless' Mulligan/Baker combination the one one following that group with Brookmeyer was on the same level and became also a 'classic' combination.

It´s one of my favourites, and the first tune, that´s a more easy listening tune, maybe what they call "boogaloo" and I must admit, it is the best of that kind from all the boogaloo era. The compositions on the albums is all great
