Description:

Long-awaited reissue of the finest spiritual jazz left in Haiti in 1984! Ayizan, a jazz group led by Haitian composer/arranger Alix Pascal, independently produced this masterpiece in 1984. The album mixes Haitian dance music "Compa" with post-fusion jazz, funk, and soulful textures, and is a gem of Caribbean jazz funk with a unique sense of rhythm and melody lines that are distinctly different from US/EU music. A1. Deblozay" and "B1. Dilijans," a funk song with superb polyrhythms and call and response, are great, but "B2. Tribilasyon," a mellow spiritual jazz song, is the best! The original is a coveted collector's item that fetches a very high price, so this reissue is a joy!
