Pascal Bokar - Savanna Jazz Club

For the first time an African musician from Dakar, Senegal, West Africa, lays out a conceptual and musical bridge linking Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker's Bebop to the harmonies and rhythms of West-Africa, Senegal. A striking version of Donna Lee on track #3 sets the Senegalese-French-American Pascal Bokar apart. The Jazz guitarist/vocalist virtuoso shows off his tremendous skills, as a concept-building artist in this record release, "Savanna Jazz Club" Pascal adds the West-African dimension to standards such as "How High the Moon" that he sings with Grammy nominees Bebop vocalists "The Cunningham's." Jazz Great Bebop drummer Donald "Duck" Bailey, the "Cunningham's" and the four Senegalese percussionists make this record an explosive find!
