Zacks Nkosi was a bandleader, composer and saxophonist of the first order. He was one of the most important figures during the golden age of African Jazz in the 1950s and '60s. Not only did he have a distinctive voice as a soloist on clarinet and alto sax, but he was also a major composer. His beautiful melodies frequently brought together the world of African tradition with that of jazz and swing.

Zacks was soon playing professionally with the local bands like the Blue Diamond Jazz Band and the Havana Swingsters. He was then invited to audition at the Bantu Men's Social Centre for the Jazz Maniacs, the top jazz band of the day. This was led by the popular Doornfontein shebeen pianist-turned-saxophonist Solomon 'Zuluboy' Cele. Zacks joined the Maniacs in 1940 and soon became their leading saxophonist. Although the Jazz Maniacs were very popular at dances, they split up in the early 1950s. This was due to a combination of musical differences, gang pressure and the introduction of forced removals under the 1950 Group Areas Act.

By the early 1950s, Zacks was playing with the African Swingsters, led by Ellison Temba and around 1952, they recorded Swazi Stomp; this was the first time one of his compositions had been recorded. With the other musicians from the Swingsters, he recorded dozens of sides for the HMV and Columbia labels often under different names. According to Maz Mojapelo, he led a number of bands under his own name, including the Zig Zag Zacks Band. He also supplemented his earnings through session work backing kwela artists and others on many recordings. His distinctive solos on alto and clarinet were a feature on many of these sides. He had his own way of blowing the horn which created a unique African jazz sound. In 1955, he was featured in an article in the influential black magazine Drum.
