I've selected an assortment of experimental genre-crossing pieces by some well known and some less well known African American innovators from several different eras that I think you'll enjoy, and that I think go well together. Some of these tunes you'll undoubtedly be familiar with and a few you may not, like this first piece from a musician by the name of Andy Palacio and his group, the Garifuna Collective. Garifuna is a musical and linguistic fusion blending African traditions with aboriginal North American culture of the Arawak people who lived on the Caribbean Islands before the European conquest and genocide. A ship carrying slaves from West Africa sank off the coast of the Isle of Saint Vincent and those who survived and made it to shore were welcomed by the Arawaks thus beginning the Garifuna culture. Small pockets of Garifuna descendants now live in both Belize and Nicaragua. Andy Palacio is from Beliz. Here he is with a song sung in the Garifuna language. The song is titled; Sin Precio, which translates to "worthless".
We started that set with 1) Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective off their 2007 release called Watina - that's on the Cumbancha label out of Belize.
Next we heard 2)Taj Mahal with a song called Walkers Cay of of his 1977 release on Warner Brothers titled Music Fu Yuh
3)Manu D'Bango was next with Doctor Bird, from his 1981 release on Mango, "Ambassador"
Here's one of the genre-bending numbers I mentioned earlier This is 4)Ali Farka Toure's contribution to Salsa;
>
> Next was the 4)Burning Spear classic; Throw Down Your Arms from his 1977 release Dry and Heavy on Island Records
> Let's jump to the mainland now and back a bit further as we join the great 5)Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach for this version of Ellington's composition; Caravan
Then we heard an old British club recording for the 6)Jimi Hendrix Experience doing Jimi's signature tune Purple Haze.
And we finished that set with 7) John Coltrane and friends performing one of Coltrane's best known compositions, A Love Supreme. All three of those recordings came to me without any liner notes, but they were just too good to file away for want of info on he record labels or the years when they were recorded.
Here's another of those mystery recordings; it's 8)Miles Davis with Charlie Parker and in this case I don't even know the name of the song. I hope someone out there will recognize it and let me know.
9)Herbie Hancock from his 1974 Columbia release called "Thrust" and the tune was "Spank-a Lee".
