Various Artists - Africa Straight Ahead (12 tracks) +Album Reviews

Various Artists Owed to Bishop - Wyatt, Marcus Naivasha (The Moon in a Bowl) - Hanmer, Paul Celebrate Mzansi - Khumalo, Moses Langery - Dyers, Errol Amasabekwelanggeni - Mrubata, McCoy Imbali - Mseleku, Bheki   Album Type: Super Audio CD - DSD (5 out of 5 stars) This wonderful collection of some of Africa s greatest straight ahead jazz players features some very cool tunes covering quite a wide-ranging stylistic soundscape. There s a little Afro-modal Shorter-ish hard bop ( Owed to Bishop ), a bit of McCoy Tyner-styled post bop ( Naivasha ), some great Township jazz ( Celebrate Mzansi ), a dollop of King Sunny Ade juju ( Langery ), Hugh Masekela meets Cast Your Fate to the Wind ( Tugela Rail ), Afro-Caribbean ( Dee Mwa Wee ), more Masekela stylings, updated ( Imbali ), and even an Afro-samba ( Shawn s Uhadi Samba )A wild, untethered joy suffuses these songs, pure blitheness of spirit, with sometimes just a thin vein of sorrow or melancholy sneaking through.
