Product description

"African Marketplace" is a captivating jazz fusion album by the legendary Dollar Brand, released on January 1, 1980, under Elektra Records and marketed by Rhino Entertainment. This concise yet powerful collection of tracks spans just 35 minutes, but it's packed with the vibrant energy and rich cultural tapestry that Brand is known for. The album seamlessly blends free jazz and traditional jazz elements, creating a unique soundscape that reflects the dynamic spirit of an African marketplace.

From the opening track "Whoza Mtwana" to the closing notes of "Ubu-Suku," Brand's mastery of the piano shines through, accompanied by an ensemble that brings each piece to life. The album's title track, "African Marketplace," is a standout, capturing the bustling atmosphere and rhythmic complexity of its namesake. Other highlights include "The Homecoming Song," which evokes a sense of nostalgia and celebration, and "Anthem for the New Nation," a powerful piece that resonates with themes of unity and hope.

"African Marketplace" is a testament to Dollar Brand's innovative approach to jazz, blending traditional African rhythms with contemporary jazz techniques. Whether you're a seasoned jazz enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience that showcases the depth and diversity of Brand's musical vision.

This LP was released in 1980.

  • Noisy Japanese Pressing

    2 out of 5 stars
    vicxkditwtheJanuary 13, 2024United States🇺🇸

    I've found that Japanese pressings are usually quite good, particularly when it comes to quiet vinyl. However, this one is rather noisy in comparison. There's a lot of crackling throughout. (Even though it looks NM and I cleaned it thoroughly).

  • Japanese Pressing Disappointment

    2 out of 5 stars
    vobfnrirfgreJanuary 13, 2024United States🇺🇸

    I've had mostly great experiences with Japanese pressings, particularly when it comes to their quiet vinyl. Unfortunately, this one falls short, with a noticeable amount of crackle throughout. (Even though it looks NM and I gave it a good cleaning).
