Soundmagnificat

Description

Deep spiritual jazz recorded in Germany, performed by Jamaican-born saxophonist Fitz Gore and his international group The Talismen, with bassist Gérard Ebbo from Morocco and drummer Philippe Zobda-Quitman from Martinique. This is the first reissue of their second album, originally released in 1976 on the small private label GorBra in Bonn. The LP is delivered in a newly remastered version. Fitz Gore's music is full of enormous tension and movement between seriousness, inwardness, and humility; it affects your life, it liberates and heals.Original 1976 liner notes.Soundmagnificat is the successor to Soundnitia (GorBra Records), the first release by The Talismen, an international group featuring Jamaican tenor saxophonist Fitz Gore (born 1935?) as founder, spiritual and musical leader, and principal soloist. "Soundnitia" contained concert recordings from June 1975, including compositions by John Coltrane, Horace Silver, and one by Gérard "Prof. Dr. Splüm" Ebbo, bassist of The Talismen.
