That presentation of Jabula is clearly linked in my memory to the ? 1976 version (Edit: Remembering 1968 Jabulani) only by the rhythm and sequence of the central chord progression.
Everything else, the centrality of the percussion, the expanse of "white space", the frugality of trumpet, and piano only sprinkled late is new. And demands I go listen to that recording from half a century ago.

Abdullah Ibrahim & Ekaya: The Mountain, dall'album "Water from a Ancient Well"
Hamba Khale! by Gato Barbieri & Dollar Brand, released on Totherness in 1968 (reissue as Confluence on Freedom in 1974)
Different Perspectives in A Room wrote on their blog:
A real sleeper – and one of the treasures of the Freedom series! The album's a rare meeting between Argentine tenor player Gato Barbieri and South African pianist Dollar Brand – a true global meeting of the jazz minds, and a recording that's stronger than most of the work either player was recording at the time! The format is incredibly spare – just tenor and piano, plus some occasional cello work by Brand – dark and angular, but also filled with small flowers of hope, flowering in the spontaneous presence of these two titans. Tracks are long, with a free flowing quality that's infused with soul and spirit.
