Ron Jefferson – Ron Jefferson Choir
Discover the unique sounds of 1960s Paris with Ron Jefferson Choir, recorded at Studio Acousti on September 23, 1965. This album is a rare gem by New York drummer Ron Jefferson, showcasing his deep connection to African rhythms and jazz improvisation. After gaining recognition with The Jazz Modes and the Les McCann Trio, Ron Jefferson formed this trio during his stay in Paris with expats Roland Haynes on bass and Buz Saviano on guitar. Together, they created a fusion of jazz, African influences, and spiritual melodies that define this standout album.
The track "Africa the Beautiful" epitomizes the album’s Afro-centric exploration, blending Jefferson’s skills on both drums and flute with Senegalese percussion. This track alone is often compared to the best works of Yusef Lateef, drawing listeners into a journey of rhythm and reflection. Despite its artistic significance, the original release was a commercial failure, leading to the band's dissolution. However, this limited-edition reissue offers collectors a chance to experience the rare magic of this trio, remastered from the original mono master tapes.
Key Features:
- Remastered from the original mono master tapes for pristine sound quality
- 180-gram vinyl pressed in Germany by Pallas
- Limited edition of only 1000 copies
- Deluxe high-gloss flipback album jacket with facsimile reissue of original cover art
- Includes a double insert featuring an original photo from 1965 by JP Leloir
Ron Jefferson Choir is a must-have for jazz enthusiasts, particularly those drawn to Afro-Jazz and the rich intersection of African rhythms and American jazz. The album's historical and musical importance, along with its rarity, makes this reissue a prized addition to any vinyl collection.
