African Jazz

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Merging highly cinematic orchestral sweep with a heavily stylized interpretation of global rhythms, the legendary arranger creates a uniquely theatrical exotica hybrid. 'African Jazz' utilizes aggressive brass sections, driving congas, and lush, dramatic string swells to evoke a Hollywood-ized vision of jungle exploration. The highly dramatic, incredibly dense arrangements perfectly encapsulate the grandiose, escapist pinnacle of the Space Age Pop era.
