![]() Such as Franco's version of "Maseke Ya Meme", a song by his brother Bavon Marie Marie which must have provoked some emotion with Franco, who felt at least partly responsible for the death of his younger brother, as the car accident in which Bavon was killed was a result of the fury after a row between the brothers. And as such there are some real 'marvels of the past' to be enjoyed on these volumes. The album is, like the others in this series (Volume one can be found in this earlier post), a collection of tracks previously released only on singles. It seems wise to be cautious in dating songs of this period, as it is not always clear which was the 'original' release (the Congolese or the French) and as tracks were (seemingly) not always released in the order in which they were recorded. As far as I can deduce, only "Où est le sérieux?" (with Sam Mangwana) is definitely from a much later date than 1971. And for this album the title is not completely inappropriate. Jazz was released by Polygram Kenya in 1986 as the third volume of a series entitled "Fifteen Years Ago".
