He’s played on albums ranging from Miles Davis to Marcus Miller. Here on his own, Munyungo Jackson plays a surfeit of percussion instruments from all over the world on this panoramic collection of upbeat and life affirming tunes. The ensembles range from solo treatises by Munyngo as he plays balafon, talking drum, shells, voice and voice on the Caribbean title track to nine member ensembles which include tenor sax titan Kamasi Washington and passionate vocalist Dwight Trible on the ethereal “Desert Crossing.” Justo Almaro’s flute floats on “Salsa” while the leader’s timbales simmer like fried rice under Ebony Fay’s voice on a fervent read of “Afro Blue.” Keyboards by John Beasley thicken up the African heat of “Rain Forest” with West African heat provided on the soulful “Malian Flight.” A rich duet between Jackson’s kalimba and vocalist Harry Thompson make for a life affirming “Peaceful Streams,” with the loving dedication of the music and attitude to God. You can feel the thankfulness on every note. Take two every morning!
