It's growin' on me

"The first listen I couldn't get past the vocal's and I just put it away. I am not to hip on jazz with vocals, but a few more listen's and the music really hit me hard, especially the rhythm section and Gary Bartz sax. Now I have this music with me wherever I go and some of the vocals are actually pretty good (like- "Uhuru Sasa"). Harlem Bush Music is divided into (2) albums "Taifa" & "Uhuru" (both included on the CD). I really like "Uhuru" with Ron Carter on funky bass. It's still growing on me with every listen- who knows a little longer & it could end up in my top 10 with 5 stars."

"The vocals are " actually pretty good " the above reviewer comments...LOL

Thats Andy Bey ! Andy F@#King Bey ! his voice is like a 10 carat diamond ....something that don't come along too often ...glad you noticed.



As for Gary Bartz NTU Troop "Harlem Bush Music"... very important works these two albums Taifa/Uhuru. They led the way forward from the old vanguard of improvisational Jazz that could've been lost...but Gary Bartz made sure that would not happen, we owe him much gratitude for these two superb pieces that really are timeless."
