Album released in 1976 by South African jazz pianist/composer Dollar Brand, who has been active since the 1960s and has many masterpieces on African themes. A trio with Cecil McBee (b) and Roy Brooks (ds), Brand played saxophone as well as piano. A3, an arabic ethno tune that was reprised on the quartet's classic album Africa Tears and Laughter, released on the same label in 1979, with Dollar's emotional piano with a very strong attack keyboard touch, and cell-tingling McBee's bass contrasts wonderfully on B2/B3. Brooks' open drumming is also excellent.
A3: Ishmael
B3: Yukio-Khalifa
