Dennis Bovell - aka Blackbeard presents this brand new album that shows he's in the best musical form of his life - featuring tracks that are neither strictly dub nor instrumental but manage to incorporate elements of both, Dennis brought together a peerless team of musicians to collaborate on 'Wise Music in Dub'.
Check the 'Les Fleurs' cover in particular featuring the inimitable Carroll Thompson, very nice indeed!
In full splendour here are vocalists Carroll Thompson singing on a cover of Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleurs", Imagination's Leee John providing vocals on The Stylistics "You're A Big Girl Now", Papa Dee on "Don't Stay Out Late", while Winston Francis and Brinsley Forde feature on "My Heart Is Gone" and "Black and White" respectively.
Included here also are drummer Perry Melius, who has contributed to Aswad and African Headcharge and is a member Billy Ocean's current live band, Robin Hopcraft on trumpet and trombone and Idris Rahman on saxophone, both of whom are members of Soothsayer's. Sarah Tobias played flute, Nick Straker was on keyboards, John Kpiaye on guitar, Duke Baysee on harmonica and Ras Happa on repeater. Swizz The Panist played steel pans on Dutchie dUb and dUb Delight, Fabio Marchiori played organ on dUb hEaD, and Ian Alleyne provided acid guitar for dUb Season.
