Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes
Expansions

First-of-its-kind compilation of contemporary South-African jazz, a vibrant scene that is brimming with young talent! It highlights some of the country’s most talented young composers and bandleaders, as well as a wider cast of supporting musicians who often appear in one another's work. Beautiful!

Impossible to categorise, vibraphonist Khan Jamal's eccentric, one-of-a-kind masterpiece fuses free jazz expressionism, black psychedelia & full-on live dub production that's as powerful now as it was when recorded over 50 years ago. Fans of Sun Ra, King Tubby & Phil Cohran, this is for you!

Hedzoleh Soundz were one of the first and most original 'Afro' bands from 1970s Ghana, mixing traditional African music and western rock. In late 1973 Fela Kuti introduced them to South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela. Unfortunately, this record was recorded right before the meeting and was overshadowed by their joint afro-jazz classic LP 'Masekela - Introducing Hedzoleh'. The self-titled LP 'Hedzoleh' has since vanished from the public domain despite the success of the band's collaboration with Hugh Masekela... until now! Gorgeous Ghanian afro-jazz for any and all joyful occasions.
