International jazz artist Darius Brubeck pays tribute on Facebook to Winston Mankunku Ngozi (born June 21, 1943) who died on October 12.

“The legendary South African tenor saxophonist, Winston Mankunku was a father-figure for the many South African musicians who now espouse a Coltrane-influenced and Africanist approach to ja...zz. Playing with him, as I had the privilege of doing in the ‘80s and ‘90s, was emotionally and musically overwhelming. He is celebrated for his passion, inventiveness, intensity and good humour. “ – Darius Brubeck
