Gyedu-Blay Ambolley
is revered as the Simigwahene in Ghana, the king of Simigwa-highlife. Because of his deep, soulful, and funky highlife sound, he is also sometimes referred to as the "
James Brown
of Ghana". And not without reason. His blend of highlife, funk, jazz, soul, and proto-rap was and is still exhilarating. He learned music from outstanding artists like
Sammy Larteh
and
Ebo Taylor
, with whom he played in the
Uhuru Dance Band
. Together they founded the
Apagya Show Band
in 1974. Now, after more than 40 years active in music and his numerous albums, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley is a living legend, too. Gyedu-Blay Ambolley exploded on the music scene in 1973 with a jazzy, funky, and soulful highlife sound he called "Simigwa-Do". Building his own Simigwa style and leaving traces around the world, today the versatile, irrepressible and highly revered singer, composer, bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and "musical-life-force" has more than 30 music albums to his credit. On his new album
Gyedu-Blay Ambolley And Hi-Life Jazz
you can hear his versions of some classic jazz tunes like "Round Midnite", "Love Supreme", "Footprints", and "All Blues" as well as some new compositions by the Simigwa-man himself. For fans of: Ebo Taylor,
Orlando Julius
,
Dele Sosimi
,
Wayne Shorter
,
Herbie Hancock
