Suffused with spiritual uplift but lacking any saccharine in either content or production values,
Azanyah
communicates in a language that harks back to the great message bearers of an earlier time: the musical language of
Coltrane
,
Pharaoh
and their fellow travelers, musicians who had journeyed deep into the wellsprings of the African-American and African traditions, and returned with complex, burnished artifacts that spoke of the highest truths with incandescent urgency. Its musical message underpinned by the deep pulse of the eponymous
Mamaniji Azanyah
's bass,
The One
is a document that seems somehow out of time: it comes as a surprise that this album was recorded in the '80s, although
The One
is not a nostalgic throwback to the revolutionary period a couple of decades earlier. Rather, it is part of a long continuum of committed visionary sound, drawing strength from the same sources that inspired its forebears, and walking on the same paths toward enlightenment. Raw, earthy, deep, spiritual jazz at its finest. All tracks fully licensed and digitally restored from the original master tapes. Includes comprehensive background and liner notes with the blessing of Mamaniji Azanyah himself. Also features loads of amazing, previously-unpublished photographs.
