Description
An extraordinary combination of a brass quintet, a mixed 52-piece choir, African percussion, a singer of spirituals, a bebop drummer and a Hammond organist, plus the individualistic and oblique trum interjections of Lester Bowie, produces some truly memorable, magical and immensely moving music. The Brazz Brothers is a stellar ensemble, highly esteemed in ist native Norway and rapidly gaining international recognition and respect. In a very real sense, this collaboration is a joyous recapitulation of the historic process of synthesis which began more than a century ago with the merger of African, Caribbean and European elements to provide a rich, musical heritage whose strains include spirituals, gospel songs, minstrel songs, ragtime, work songs, blues and jazz. Recorded 1994 Personnel: Lester Bowie (trum) Jarje Førde, Jan Magne Førde (trum, flugelhorn) Runar Tafjord (french horn) Helge Førde (trombone) Stein Erik Tafjord (tuba) The Skruk Choir, David Peaston (vocals) Amina Claudine Myers (organ) Egil 'Bop' Johansen (drums) Famoudou Don Moye (percussion)
