Popis - TALES OF.. -DOWNLOAD- [VINYL]:
A vinyl-reissue of the seminal 1975 album by Count Ossie & The
Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari. Count Ossie is the central
character in the development of Rastafarian roots music,
nowadays an almost mythical and iconic figure. His importance
in bringing Rastafarian music to a populist audience is matched
only by Bob Marley's promotion of the faith internationally in
the 1970s. His legendary jam sessions in his Rastafarian
compound up in the hills of Wareika, Kingston, are famous for
the many Jamaican musicians who attended, including The
Skatalites' players (Roland Alphonso, Don Drummond, Johnny Moore, Lloyd Knibbs) and many others. This unique music is at
once rooted in the deep traditions and rituals of traditional
drumming alongside a forward-thinking, even avant-garde,
artistry, influenced by the likes of John Coltrane, Sun Ra,
Pharoah Sanders and other pioneering African-American jazz
artists radicalised and charged by the civil rights movement of
the 1960s.
