Famoudou Don Moye - For Bobo (CD)

For Bobo is a powerhouse recording from one of the most enigmatic figures in the jazz world. Famoudou Don Moye, widely known for his drum and percussion work with the Art Ensemble of Chicago stretches out into other realms with his Sun Percussion Summit and more. This recording was a follow up to "Afrikan Song" by Famoudou Don Moye and Enoch Williamson's Sun Percussion Summit. The bass player on Afrikan Song was Oscar Brown III, better known as Bobo. Bobo was killed in a fatal crash and this is the groups tribute to his memory and spirit. It also features 2 other members who have since passed on, Joel Brandon, and Meshach Silas. With and all star cast of characters this musical journeys through various forms of Afrikan American musical tradition. Definitely a ride worth taking.
