This much needed reissue holds only great tracks. Check out the jam Home Sweet Home & the beautiful Mother's Day. BIG tip for the african music lovers.
After spending much of the �70s humping his congos around New York as a session musician, Nigerian Aleke Kanonu pulled in some favours to record an album of his own. The result was Aleke, a criminally obscure Afrobeat/Funk/Jazz masterpiece featuring Buddy Williams on drums, George Davis on guitar and a cameo from Wynton Marsalis on flugelhorn. There are only four tracks on the album but they are all killers. N�Gwode sounds like Fela Kuti and Manu Dibangu hanging out with Bobby Womack, probably somewhere across 110th Street. �Keep New York Clean� struts like Shaft after a successful bust. And �Mothers Day� keeps things sweet and soulful, before Wynton Marsalis brings back the groove with his flugelhorn on �Home Sweet Home�. Until recently you would have had to take out a second mortgage to get hold of Akele. And sold a kidney for the Happiness/Nwanne, Nwanne, Nwanne 12�� Kanonu released a year later - Peter Moore,
