Prayer For My Ancestors
CD (Item 482420) Furthermore, 2008 — Condition: New Copy
Brilliant recent work from Azar Lawrence – the first album in many years from this famous west coast reedman, and an excellent set that matches the soul and spirit of his sessions from the 70s! The group here is an all-star array of soul jazz heavyweights – Nate Morgan on piano, Henry Franklin on bass, and Alphonse Mouzon on drums – all of whom sound as great on this set as they did back in the day, making for a perfect combo to showcase Azar's mighty talents on tenor and soprano sax! The album's all acoustic in instrumentation, and the tunes have a bold, spiritual kind of quality – one that makes the set feel like some lost treasure from the Nimbus or Strata East labels from years back. Guests include Ibrahima Ba on vocals, Amadou Fall on kora, Nolan Shaheed on trumpet, and Roy McCurdy on drums – and titles include "Open Sesame", "Under Tanzanian Skies", "Thokole", "Prayer For My Ancestors", "Swinging In Exile", and "Ode To Pharoah". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
