COMPILATION

Delving into jazz's heritage, Afro Blue Volume 2: The Roots and the Rhythms explores Africa's influence on Blue Note artists like McCoy Tyner and Stanley Turrentine. As the title suggests, this collection pays special attention to the complex polyrhythms inspired by the African tradition. Tracks include the Jazz Crusaders' "Appointment in Ghana," Wayne Shorter's "Black Nile" and Lee Morgan's "Zambia." The Roots and Rhythms documents the new expression these jazz artists found by expanding on their ancient heritage. ~ Heather Phares
