Alto saxophonist Marion Brown has long been one of jazz's most elusive and compelling figures, resisting easy categorization with an aesthetic that drew from free jazz, world music, and beyond. Recorded over three sessions in July 1976 at Sound Ideas Studio in New York, Awofofora stands as a testament to his singular vision, blending influences that range across jazz, Latin, and global folk traditions into something wholly his own.
Originally released on the Japanese Discomate label, Awofofora has remained a rare and hard-to-find entry in Brown's catalog — now reissued for the first time and presented in an old-style gatefold jacket featuring rare photographs and liner notes by Ed Hazell. It's a rewarding listen for those drawn to jazz that defies convention and rewards careful attention.
