About Conjure: Music For The Texts Of Ishmael Reed
Review ". . . spooky, richly allusive and liberating . . . Conjure is a luminous and unified work. . . ." -- Francis Davis, Philadelphia Enquirer "One of [1985's]best records . . . to hear Taj Mahal, David Murray and Allen Toussaint playing not alongside, but with one another is really something. . . ." -- Robert Christgau, Village Voice "This is one of those well-focused, authoritative recordings that makes the speakers disappear, leaving three-dimensional images floating in space. Highly recommended!" -- Absolute Sound Product Description Compositions written and performed by taj mahal, allen toussaint, david murray, steve swallow, carla bley, lester bowie, kip hanrahan, carman moore, olu dara, jamaaladeen tacuma, puntilla, milton cardona, kenny kirkland, ejaye tracey, don jay.
