Subtle mix of free jazz and spiritual afro jazz groove. The line-up is remarkable: Talib Kibwe on sax, flute and kalimba, Louis Petrucciani on bass, Bobby Few on piano, Sangoma G. Everett on drums and African percussions. Superb flute work (with that incredible buzz sound), very inventive piano parts, nice breaks. Recorded in France during the 80’s, only 2000 copies were pressed! Very fresh and totally obscure! ~ victorkiswell.com.
A breath of fresh air released in 1987 by a wind instrument player Talib Kibwe, born in New York with Caribbean heritage, whose father is Jamaican and mother is Trinidad and Tobago. With a piano trio in the background, alto saxophone, soprano saxophone, flute, etc., and a piano trio including veteran pianist Bobby Few and talented bassist Lous Petrucciani in the background, this is a work that attracts attention with its passionate blow. ~ From the new album guide.
