DAXAAR * [801390016523]

This legendary jazz drummer (and former Black Panther) has played with the likes of Brown, Coltrane, Davis, Kuti, Sun Ra and many more. He's also one of the most joyful and hopeful people on earth, still optimistic that bringing music to the people can help solve the world's problems. DAXAAR is a series of improv sessions recorded with longtime collaborator and producer Kieran Hebden on electronics. The ensemble also consists of keyboards, guitar, bass, trumpet and percussion. The title is from an earlier spelling of Dakar, the Senegalese city where the album was made.
