First time on CD for this underground Jazz classic featuring bonus tracks pulled from a Jef Gilson ten inch vinyl release. In 1965, the Texas tenor sax giant Hal Singer arrived in Paris and found in the Jef Gilson band a perfect musical blend for his Afrocentric musical tendencies, which he"d developed after five lengthy and successful tours in Africa. The result of the collaboration between Jef Gilson and Hal Singer was Soul of Africa, a monumental record, one of the catalysts for the Afro-Parisian scene that fascinated so many musicians and music fans in the "70s and "80s.
