Outstanding spiritual, land-of-the-blacks jazz from 1970. Don Cherry, Ed Blackwell, Buster Williams, Herbie Hancock and three Heaths — Mtume, his dad Jimmy, and his uncle Albert.
Liner notes by Amiri Baraka.

‘Candomblé-inspired psychedelic party music, taking the Afro-Brazilian sound into some wild territory. It’s a heady mix of tropicalismo, chimed guitar, conversational chatter, studio fuckery, and heavy percussion with a female chorus. The songs blend together so that each side of the record runs as a continual piece.’

Lip-smacking distillation of their four legendary LPs, from 1977-82.
Real-deal Afro Manding: a Senegalese crossing of traditional and regional rhythms like boogaraboo and sawrouba with soul, funk and rock.

Breathtaking, guitar-led Malian roots.

Heady, grooving, moog-driven, next-level mbalax from Gambia. Recordings of the legendary twelve-piece live in a Senegalese nightclub in 1982, out here for the first time.

A masterpiece from the same few months in 1963 as The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady, adding a couple more players to its killer lineup of Booker Ervin, Jaki Byard, Charlie Mariano and co. A kind of testimonial match by the eleven-piece, doing over some of Mingus’ best tunes so far: he didn’t take a group back into the studio till 1970.
‘Essential Vinyl Series.’
