Wonderful stuff. Thank you so much. When I looked up Afai Bawon Ja, it looked like KSA mixed and matched album sides: I look forward to much more of this kind of discovery as I explore and follow this guide.
My friendly and idle contrarianism rears its head to say: great list! Lots of great tunes on here I'd never heard before. That said...AZDA; great tune, but it's never made me see God like "Bina na ngai na respect", "Sandoka (maybe my favorite OK Jazz number), "Kimpa kisangameni", "Non", "Matata ya mwasi na mobali esilaka te" or a handful of other's whose names escape me at the moment.
I guess what I really mean is: I envy anyone out there who just heard AZDA for the first time and is curious what else OK Jazz (and Rochereau, and Dr. Nico, and Langa-Langa....) were capable of, I envy you. An ocean of joy awaits.
Damn.
