Incorporating elements of jazz, Bradfield connects the sounds of Africa with those of the African Diaspora in North America, creating a stunning musical travelogue. Before writing, he assembled a group of like-minded, dynamic Chicago musicians to compose for-pianist Ryan Cohan, guitarist Jeff Parker, trumpeter-percussionist Victor Garcia, bassist Clark Sommers, and drummer George Fludas helping to forge a powerful group aesthetic for the recording. \"... a colorful tableau filtered through personal experience and infused by an understanding of the history of the continent.\" - Jazz Chicago.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Butare \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Piano Solo \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Children's Room \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Lubumbashi \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Mama Yemo \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Drum Solo \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Nairobi Transit \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Prelude \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Kampala \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Bass Solo \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Nurse from Nairobi \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Harare\/Leaving Africa\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Geof Bradfield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39698648367175,"sku":"15202628","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/1674891.jpg?v=1747349632","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/geof-bradfield-african-flowers","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
