Sangoma Everett and Lionel Martin have a long history together. It all began with their first album revisiting Count Basie’s fabulous « Africa ». Imagine then, a duo climbing this summit once recorded in big band. The drummer and the saxophone player took up the challenge knowing full well that the key was not to stick to the score, but to retain its spirit.
Five years later, the two partners are once again involved in a strange affair recording a story about the blues, the soundtrack of a deported people that became the matrix of twentieth-century music. Once again, this complementary pair doesn’t intend to stick to the original groove, but to produce original variations rooted in their own reality. “The blues will never die out; it’s a universal music that will always inspire musicians because it embodies love, sorrow and hope,” insists Sangoma Everett.
