Disco, a fusion of Afro American, Afro Cuban and Afro Puerto Rican music and dance, was about to give birth to rap. URBAN SUITE contains musical elements of these inherently West African cultures as heard (live and recorded) in the clubs of New York City circa 1978. During A BRAZILIAN BLEND, the Afro Brazilian samba rhythm intertwined with Afro American funk is heard. Improvisations by Mauricio Smith (flute and tenor sax) and Eddie Drennon (violin) are sprinkled throughout the collection.
