Out of stock

2024 stock. Recorded live at Jazzfestival Saafelden August 28th 1987. This trio live performance, with the great Lester Bowie on trumpet, and the great Malachi Favors on bass is a must for all fans. Kahil El'Zabar is the real great of tribal rhythms, creating very long hypnotic foundations for the soloists to improvise freely, spiritually, bluesy. Lester Bowie is of course a master at all that : he sings, wails, growls, weeps, stutters, moans, farts,  ... he can build tension, he can build stories out of thin air and take the listener on for some great moments. Favors is equally good, as comfortable with boppish rhythmic support as diving into adventurous zones, especially when bowed. And El'Zabar is great. I think I have almost all his albums (with only a few missing). I can only recommend him to those of you who don't know him. The others won't need convincing.
