Jez Nelson presents American saxophonist David Murray with Guadeloupean drummer-vocalists the Gwo-Ka Masters, recorded in concert at the Bath Festival. This eight piece Creole project is an exploration of Murray’s roots and features the boulagyel, a traditional Guadeloupean version of the beat box, alongside ka-drums, guitar, trumpet, bass and Murray’s fiery saxophone. Murray has recorded prolifically since the mid 1970s, when he moved to New York and became part of the city’s creative loft scene. He is known for his technique, particularly his use of circular breathing, and for the breadth of his work; he is as comfortable in a free music context as he is playing within more formal structures, and has traveled extensively exploring music from around the world.
