Orchestra Baobab - Pirates Choice

Orchestra Baobab is from Dakar, Senegal. Their music sounds like ´a West-African rumba with Cuban influences´. The alto sax does a great part on this album. Just listen to #1, Utrus Horas, and you´ll concur.

Annette Peacock - The Perfect Release

Being the ex-wife of  Bill Bruford and Gary Peacocks sister (thanks Doc), Annette Peacock clearly shows her love for the rhythm-thing.

Accompanied by a.o. Max Middleton and Robert Ahwai, she creates a jazz/funk/underground atmosphere, which is best heard in the last track (#7, almost 15 minutes!) ´Survival´.

This album was originally released in 1979.
