Life Force - Fearless Warriors (1981) [2007]

Spiritual jazz funk as an homage to the Civil Rights Movement out of Atlanta in the late 1970s. Rare album featuring a recording session led by Joe Jennings and Howard Nicholson, both active in the Atlanta jazz scene, Incl. the fusion tune “Fearless Warriors” and the bossa dancer “To Pharaoh With Love” dedicated to Pharoah Sanders. First release of this privately pressed US-album from 1981 on the tiny Numu Numu label, remastered in 2007, comes with original cover artwork.

Life Force was organized in 1972 by Joe Jennings and Howard Nicholson as a musical outlet free of the kind of restrictions that usually limit the creativity of the musicians involved. Since then, Life Force has become a kind of Jazz Institution in Atlanta, known for its outstanding performances. This is the first recording by this group, and it is a beautiful example of the group`s versatility and talent as performers and composers. So here for the first time on record is the music of Life Force.
