Hi! I hope you are all doing okay. I’m just here doing a bit of catch-up after a sustained period where it seemed like I was in multiple doctor appointments either for myself or family member, spending too much time in waiting rooms.

The whole album is well worth a listen or two. Gnawa trance music is interesting in its own right. Pharoah Sanders was good enough to lend his sax to a session, and making the music of the Gnawa in Morocco better known was a passion project over the course of decades for the late pianist Randy Weston. Here’s a sample – with Weston getting some time to perform as well:
Cheers!
