      It was a first for me as well. Popped up on my SoundCloud feed after someone reposted it.

    Seminal and much sought after Afro Jazz session recorded in Paris in 1979 featuring Senegalese percussionist Cheikh Tidiane, produced by Jean-Paul Rodrigue for his cult Freelance label.
    The session combines Afro-centric percussion, the lyrical saxophone of Jo Maka (The Celestial Communication Orchestra) and regular Steve Lacey collaborator Bobby Few in a Parisian answer to Black Jazz and Strata East.
