"THE DEVIL TRIED TO KILL ME" new album David Murray & The Gwo Ka Masters
The Gwo Ka Master's represents DAVID MURRAY's quintessential exploration of his roots. The Jes Grew Spirit is ever presents: the ghost of the runaway slave, the vehement force of the Ka drums; the glowing saxophone weaving the Havana tones of the brass section into the virtuoso guitar work. David Murray's tenor saxophone ignites the atmosphere with free blasts while the Guadeloupean boulgyel, the traditional, tropical version of the beat box, throws out a line to hip hop. Every Gwo Ka Masters concert is a new exploration of Creolisation, in its most vibrant form.
I would like to personally thank you for becoming my friend. When you get a spare moment in your hectic day, please drop by and listen to a tune or two (http://www.myspace.com/xtecky). I would also enjoy hearing from you soon. Until then, take care and may peace, joy & happiness guide your way. "X"
