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.
Never heard of this. Very groovy! Love the percussion work.
It was a first for me as well. Popped up on my SoundCloud feed after someone reposted it.
