15012014 - Fela Kuti and Roy Ayers "Music of Many Colours"

Today has been a sad day for the Norwegian music community, with the news of the passing of two fine men, Mr. Tor Milde, music journalist extraordinaire and Mr. Per Eirik Johansen, one of the Norwegian music industry's most respected people. Both men were genuine music lovers and all over good guys, and I count myself lucky to have known them. Neding some musical relief, I turned to one of Johansen's favorites (and friends), Fela Kuti, here in a collaboration with Roy Ayers. The two tracks that make out this album are both around 18 minutes long, and mix afro-beat, highlife, jazz, funk and r'n'b in wonderful way, bringing a well needed smile back to my face.
