Dance of Magic Norman Connors SKU: PPAN BDS56741 Barcode: 5060149623534 34.00 £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Buddah Released Date: 21st April 2023 Buying Format: 180g 1LP Add to basket Reserve Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Re-mastering by: Cicely Baston at Alchemy/Air Mastering Recorded with a who’s who of fusion titans including trumpeter Eddie Henderson, bassist Stanley Clarke, and keyboardist Herbie Hancock, Dance of Magic channels the lessons drummer Norman Connors learned in the employ of Pharoah Sanders, Sam Rivers, and Sun Ra, marshalling Latin rhythms, electronic textures, and cosmic mysticism to create non-denominational yet deeply spiritual funk-jazz. The sprawling 21-minute title cut spans the entirety of the record’s first half, capturing a monumental jam session that explores the outer edges of free improvisation but never steps past the point of no return. Connors’ furious drumming is like a trail of bread crumbs that leads his collaborators back home. The remaining three tracks are smaller in scale but no less epic in scope, culminating with the blistering “Give the Drummer Some.” by Jason Ankeny Personnel: Gary Bartz – Alto Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone; Stanley Clarke – Bass; Norman Connors – Drums; Art Webb – Flute; Anthony Wiles – Percussion [African], Balafon [Baliphone] – Nat Bettis – Percussion [African], Congas; Herbie Hancock – Piano, Electric Piano [Fender Rhodes]; Carlos Garnett – Tenor Saxophone, Soprano Saxophone; Eddie Henderson – Trumpet; Cecil McBee – bass; Airto Moreira – percussion; Alphonse Mouzon – percussion; Billy Hart – percussion; Engineer: Harry Yarmark Producer: Dennis Wilen, Skip Drinkwater Artist Norman Connors Genre Jazz Label Buddah Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Side A: 1.
