...crumbling YMCA on Beatrice Street near the Durban waterfront resounds with music and foot-stomping. Once this South African port city on the Indian Ocean hummed day and night with Zulu stevedores hauling ship cargo. Now in the small hours, the docks are quiet, but inside the Y, isicathamiya choral groups are pulsing. Isicathamiya (i-see-ca-tah-me-ya) encompasses elements of Zulu ritual celebrations and American gospel and ragtime.

Anderson's feature on Duke Ellington's "In My Solitude" stands out as a highlight...
