Gil Scott-Heron & Amnesia Express – The Paris Concert

Groove, according to legendary pianist Monty Alexander – a man who knows what he’s talking about – is ‘the irresistible inner movement of music’ and, he insists, all beings ‘groove’, even insects! . His music and lyrics, part poetic, part political, which denounce the repressive violence exerted on African-Americans by society in the US, soon made him the cult hero of the radical rap and hip-hop musicians throughout the world. To the delight of the New Morning public in 2001, this rebellious storyteller overcame many twists of fate to become over the years one of the greatest singers in the soul tradition.TRACKLISTING: 01 Blue Collar | 02 A Lovely Day | 03 Three Miles Down | 04 Work For Peace | 05 Angel Dust | 06 There’s A War Going On | 07 Did You Hear What They Said? | 08 Your Daddy Loves You | 09 Everybody Loves The Sunshine | 10 Winter In America | 11 95 South (All Of The Places We’ve Been) | 12 Johannesburg | 13 The Bottle
