This early 1960s recording features the Nigerian musician Solomon Ilori accompanied by an all-star band that includes trumpeter Donald Byrd, saxophonist/flautist Hubert Laws, and drummer Elvin Jones. The percolating, percussion-heavy set recalls similar African-influenced pieces by Sun Ra and his Arkestra, while Ilion's atmospheric vocals and pennywhistle playing belie the fact that the set was recorded in New Jersey, and the interplay between the session's various drummers makes it plain that they're having the time of their lives.
African High Life was certainly not your typical 1963 Blue Note session. Solomon Ilori had come to Blue Note's attention through his participation as vocalist, drummer, and composer on Art Blakey's final drum ensemble album a year earlier, The African Beat. But it was the unexpected success of Drums Of Passion and More Drums Of Passion by fellow Nigerian Michael Babatunde Olatunji a few years earlier that made a project such as this feasible. A year and a half later, Ilori made a second Blue Note session that was never released. The material here is much longer in duration, but because only three of the five tunes achieved releasable final takes, no album was forthcoming. That material is issued here for the first time.
