Max Cilla
La Flute des Mornes volume 1 (Apia) 1982, France (west indies)

Brilliant west indies spiritual jazz album by flutist from Martinique Max Cilla. This Lp includes some fantastic compositions like the hot trippy latin jazz "Crépuscule Tropical" with wicked Fender Solo by Georges Edouard Nouel reminding me of Sardaby's "Welcome New Warmth" also worth to check "La Flute des Mornes" with typical caribbean rythms, deep groovy bass, and superb latin funk flute solo Max Cilla ... Ultra hard to find private press only released in France.

Anzala - Dolor - Vélo
s/t (Celini Disques Aux Ondes) 70's, France - West Indies

Very important record in the West Indian music history. it perfectly blends biguine/jazz and gwo ka (traditional west indian percussions), Raw biguines jazz like on the percussion laden Soundway's anthem "Tifi la ou te madam" with great sax & vocals. But my favorite is definitley the spiritual "Soulagé" with deep creole voice. Beautiful album, very hard to find nowayas. Cover is NM. Record is EX due to light storage warp.
