Anthony Joseph & The Spasm Band - Bird Head Son

Anthony Joseph and The Spasm Band Bird Head Son
Anthony Joseph & The Spasm Band - Bird Head Son
(CD) Heavenly Sweetness / Naïve, 2009-01-13

This teacher, musician, novelist and rapper offers unique live performances as he lets his conscious flow be guided by the Caribbean Voodoo. His music makes one feel as if they are drowning in a solid Funk groove and multiple musical improvisations, giving a Free Jazz atmosphere to his listeners. In March, the band will be going on tour around France and the United Kingdom to promote their new album. Anthony Joseph continues here on his Terry Callier-esque/Afro Toasting poetry tip with a more funk backing than his previous outing on Kindred Spirits... Check Anthony Joseph's special Podcast for Paris DJs, 1 hour of his roots & influences, with Anthony doing the MC/presentator!!
