1986 American Clavé/veraBra Music

Essentially the brainchild of Kip Hanrahan, the loose-knit group known as Conjure brings to bear all the elements that he had fused so successfully in the various projects
released under his own name: avant-garde jazz, Latin (especially Afro-Cuban) rhythms, and a deep, funky blues sensibility. Here, using texts from the contemporary author Ishmael Reed, he distributes the composing duties to everyone from Lester Bowie to Taj Mahal to Allen Toussaint, mixes a heady instrumental gumbo, and allows things to percolate to a fine boil. The cast of musicians is certainly of all-star quality, but special mention should be made of trumpeter Olu Dara for some heart-rendingly beautiful playing, Taj Mahal for his wonderful, raspy vocal delivery, and the entire cast of percussionists, astounding in their diversity of attacks. The pieces tend toward relaxed pop forms with vocals and approachable structures but always sporting a sharply honed edge, both in their musical form and in the pointed lyrical observations that are philosophical while retaining street-level grit. As on other Hanrahan productions, there are several pieces (like Bowie's "Fool-Ology") which might be popular hits in a more benevolent universe. It’s been over five years since Kip Hanrahan initiated a project to put Reed’s words to film and music. The film project is still an idea, but in your hands is one of the best collaborations of music and poetry I’ve ever heard. Hanrahan has accumulated some of this generation’s most resourceful musicians from the Carib, from neo-gutbucket, from free-bop and from innovative elasto-funk to produce an aural backdrop as perspicacious and lyrical as the poems are musical. Each player is skilled in a particular vernacular American form and several are strong, evocative soloists. Hanrahan ably facilitated the recording by requesting that David Murray, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Lester Bowie, Carman Moore, Taj Mahal and Alien Toussaint provide compositions to poems or texts of their choice, which resulted in the melange of songs.
