Griot Galaxy - Live at the Dia

(2-CD set) for nearly two decades Griot Galaxy was at the vanguard of the Detroit free jazz music scene. Members of the band performed and recorded with Roscoe Mitchell, Sun Ra, Abdullah Ibrahim and Phil Cohran. The fact that there were only two releases of the band under their own name during this period seems criminal. Entropy Stereo is pleased to present this complete concert performance at the Detroit Institute of Arts from 1983. Beautifully recorded, this is Griot Galaxy at their peak. Griot Galaxy was Faruq Z. Bey on saxophone, Tony Holland and David McMurray on saxophones Tani Tabbal on drums and Jaribu Shahid on bass.
