| Steve Reid Ensemble - Daxaar: Made In Africa |

Steve Reid: Dakar 2007 - Getting Jiggy..."I
knew how much Trane wanted to go to Africa
and he inspired me to go. Art Blakey, my
first inspiration, also spent a lot of time
in Africa because it was the root. So, I went
on a freight liner, it was carrying diesel
engines, it only cost 75 dollars. I took my
drum set... it was really strange, we got to
the Canary Islands and changed to another
boat, I remember it was called African Moon
on Pharaoh Lines. This guy came running up to
me and said, "Are you the drummer?"... as
they were unloading my drums had fallen in to
the sea and I was like 'Oh no...' but then,
to me, it was like a baptism. I thought, this
is heavy 'cause to me I was like recreating
the slave journey backwards. I was reversing
history."
