Fo Deuk Revue (1997)

"This album-- featuring jazz, poetry, rap, and chants-- is a wonderful celebration of Pan-Africanist culture. The combination of the recent poetry of Amiri Baraka, and David Murray's fantastic Pan-African group represent a new departure in the music. Apparently, one of the veteran drummers is the creator of Senegal's national anthem. And the CD features Senegalese rap, alongside some of the best contemporary drumming around." "I got this CD because I found the track Evidence to be a powerful fusion of Amiri Baraka's scathing poetry and Murray's jazz composition. Unfortunately, though, there are no other tracks on the CD like this one. That being said, the playing on the other tracks is good and showcase Murray's adaptability as a player/composer." (Amazon)
