Beschreibung:

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes booklet. 2020 release. Rejoice is a very special collaboration between Tony Allen, the co-founder of Afrobeat, and Hugh Masekela, the master of South African jazz. Having first met in the '70s thanks to their respective close associations with Fela Kuti, the two world-renowned musicians talked for decades about making an afrobeat album together. When, in 2010, their touring schedules coincided in the UK, the moment presented itself and producer Nick Gold took the opportunity to record their encounter. The unfinished sessions, consisting of all original compositions by the pair, lay in archive until after Hugh passed away in 2018. With renewed resolution, Tony Allen and Nick Gold, with the blessing and participation of Hugh's estate, unearthed the original tapes and finished recording the album in summer 2019 at the same London studio where the original sessions had taken place. Rejoice can be seen as the long overdue confluence of two mighty African musical rivers - a union of two free-flowing souls for whom borders, whether physical or stylistic, are things to pass through or ignore completely. According to Allen, the album deals in "a kind of South African-Nigerian swing-jazz stew", with it's roots firmly in afrobeat., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Art Direction: Neel Panchal, Bass: Mutale Chashi, Bass: Tom Herbert, Design: Florence de la Fournière, Drums, Percussion: Tony Allen, Engineer [2010 Assistant Studio Engineer]: Dan Ingall, Flugelhorn: Hugh Masekela, Keyboards: Elliot Galvin, Keyboards: Joe Armon-Jones, Lacquer Cut By: Guy Davie, Mastered By: Guy Davie, Mixed By: Sonny Johns, Percussion: Lekan Babalola, Photography By [Photographs By]: Gavin Rodgers, Photography By [Photographs By]: Hugo Glendinning, Producer [Additional Production By]: Sonny Johns, Producer [Produced By]: Hugh Masekela, Producer [Produced By]: Nick Gold, Producer [Produced By]: Tony Allen, Recorded By: Jerry Boys, Recorded By: Sonny Johns, Recorded By [Additional Recording By]: Patrick Ruffino, Tenor Saxophone: Steve Williamson, Vibraphone: Lewis Wright, Vocals: Hugh Masekela, Vocals: Tony Allen, Written-By: Hugh Masekela, Written-By: Tony Allen, Labelcode WCCT57497.1 (WCV094, WCV094), Phonographic Copyright (p) World Circuit Ltd., Copyright (c) World Circuit Ltd., Record Company BMG, Record Company BMG UK, Published By Shining Music, Published By Semopa Music, Published By Sony ATV Publishing, Recorded At Livingston Studios, Mixed At Livingston Studios, Mixed At The Nave, Mastered At Electric Mastering, Lacquer Cut At Electric Mastering, Pressed By Optimal Media GmbH
