Umbo Weti -- A Tribute To Leon Thomas
CD (Item 501723) Motema, 2008 -- Condition: New Copy
A beautiful tribute to the greatness of Leon Thomas -- put together by one of the few cats who could get it right! Given that Babatunde Lea's other music already takes us back to the days when Thomas sang with Pharoah Sanders -- his leadership on a date like this is a natural -- as Lea has a way of hitting just the right sort of righteous vibe to open things up for Leon's message of peace, love, and spiritual fulfillment! The great Dwight Trible handles vocals on the date -- a singer you probably already love for his work with Build An Ark -- and other players include Ernie Watts on tenor sax, Patrice Rushen on piano, and Gary Brown on bass. The performance is a live one -- recorded at Yoshi's in Oakland -- and the double-length set features a heck of a lot of music, plus some video content on the second disc! Titles include "Prince Of Peace", "Reaching Up", "Umbo Weti", "Colors", "Sun Song", "African Fantasy", "Song For My Father", "African Tapestry", "Creator Has A Master Plan", "Boom Boom", and "Cousin Mary". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | |||||
