Dudu Pukwana Discography

 

 

I hadn’t been able to find a decent discography for Dudu Pukwana online, so I started a listing of Pukwana’s LPs as leader and sideman. I add to it as information becomes available. Do let me know if I’ve missed any.

If you’d like to find out more about Pukwana and The Blue Notes, the band he came to Britain with, do go and read the excellent site dedicated to their history http://www.mfowler.myzen.co.uk/
