Dilijans by Ayizan on Superfly Records.

Comet Records present the new reissue out of the Comet new reissue series, Dilijans by Ayizan. A mind-blowing session of Spiritual Jazz recorded in NYC in 1984 led by Haitian genius Alix Pascal blending traditional Ra Ra elements with modal/spiritual melodies.
The result was like nothing else coming out of Haiti or the Haitian exile community in the US at the time. Dark, mystical, lyrical and abstract, with its otherworldly shifting rhythms, Dilijans came off like a Haitian version of Bitches Brew.

The album sounds less like a stylish mini-jazz performing in a hotel dancehall than like a cry of ancestors emanating from the spirit world to lament over the complications of modern Haitian society.

Tony Allen completely rewrote the books on what was possible within the AfroBeat genre with his stunning 1999 album, Black Voices. When one considers exactly "what" is going on throughout Black Voices, it is quite mind boggling, as it is almost impossible to associate a minimalist, electronic feel with the massive walls of sound which Allen was known to create.

Released under the moniker of The 4th Cycle (not his backing band, but a reference to the improv techniques of the cycle of fourths used on the album) jazz keyboardist Walter Bishop Jr. released ‘Keeper Of My Soul’ on the Black Jazz imprint in 1973. Free-form, improvised passages rub up against Latin and funk rhythms on this critically undervalued work, available once again via Real Gone Music.
