With recent musical performances at We Out Here Festival and Hootananny, Brixton in UK as well as Festivalle in Sicily, the legendary highlife pioneer is not slowing down any time soon.
Perfectly showcasing his rich and unique vocal finesse on this record makes it a perfect introduction to the long-awaited album with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad.
The song was recorded in Los Angeles at Linear Labs studio together with some members of the Ebo Taylor Family band from Ghana.
As explained by Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad – the forces behind this project, it was a great honor working with the Ghanaian legend.
Jazz Is Dead is a global movement experienced through community and culture. Founded in 2017, the movement is led by music producers Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, concert producer Andrew Lojero and industry veteran Adam Block.
