This 1977 album features renowned saxophonist Buddy Tate, who had a long and illustrious career starting in the 1930s, in collaboration with South African pianist Dollar Brand, known for his numerous masterpieces themed around Africa. The quartet includes Cecil McBee on bass and Roy Brooks on drums. The album opens with A1, a captivating Cape Jazz track with a minimalistic and stylishly repetitive bass riff. A2 swings with a groovy rhythm, while B1 showcases an emotionally rich rendition of a standard number. The session beautifully blends both artists' styles in a relaxed atmosphere, highlighted by McBee's exceptional bass performance.
