This was originally composed as a jazz tune around 1991 for Channel 18, Reddy’s jazz-fusion band with whom he worked in Johannesburg. He rewrote the piece in 2005, writing out the piano part in full. Reddy was both a classical and jazz virtuoso, and compositions like 'afrojol' are a fusion between the two styles that he called ‘clazz’.
