CAPETOWN SHUFFLE LIVE AT HOT HOUSE Perfect Sale Online

An inspired soulfulness dominates the four extended compositions that make up this album, the second Delmark release by saxophonist Ernest Dawkins’ New Horizons Ensemble. Recorded in Chicago in August of 2002, “Capetown Shuffle” celebrates numerous facets of the African American experience, from the gritty blues and AACM adventurousness of South Side Chicago, to joyful New Orleans marches, to the ancient ancestral grooves of South Africa. It was a special challenge to perform live all new compositions never played before an audience. The awesome results show why NHE shows are unique and flow unlike any other band.
