Singer, Hal/jef Gilson
Soul Of Africa
Considered as one of the most important Afro-Parisian jazz records of the seventies, Soul of Africa sees Texas tenor sax giant Hal Singer team up with French pianist Jel Gilson, and his Afrocentric big jazz band. Originally released in 1974 on legendary French imprint French Le Chant Du Monde, Soul of Africa plays off the talents of Singer and Gilson, all the while supported by the sublime percussive talents of Gilson's finely directed band. This album can be definitively considered as an overwhelming testament to spiritual ethno-jazz.
