African Rhythms - Oneness Of Juju 1970-1982
(2xCD/3xLP) Strut STRUTCD/LP018, 2001-08-27
"Strut hook up with Stateside black jazz label Black Fire for a definitive retrospective of one of the most groundbreaking Afro funk / spiritual jazz groups of all time, Oneness Of Juju. Best known for the Larry Levan mixed ‘Every Way But Loose’ and the rare groove anthems ‘African Rhythms’ and ‘River Luv Rite’, Oneness were one of the first bands to successfully fuse elements of avant garde jazz, funk and touches of Sun Ra cosmology, all topped with the powerhouse jazz vocals and messages of Eka Ete Jackie Lewis. From their early politically motivated hard jazz / Afro percussion work on the legendary Strata East label, to the funky ‘African Rhythms’ and ‘Space Jungle Luv’ LPs using layers of Afro percussion and beautiful jazz melodies, the albums were masterpieces and have been collectors’ favourites for years. The album is complemented by a 16-page booklet with comprehensive notes and rare photos covering the history of the band."
