The Southern University Jazz Ensemble - “Clean Air” from the 1973 album Goes To Africa With Love from Now-Again Records
What was once an incredibly rare record is now re-issued, thanks to Eothen “Egon” Alapatt’s Now-Again Records label.
Recorded in 1971, the student-performed album, The Southern University Jazz Ensemble's Goes to Africa With Love, was originally given away as souvenirs at Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA. This reissue marks the first time it has been made available commercially.
The group was instructed and led by legendary avant-garde jazz clarinetist Alvin Batiste, and the LP was reissued in his memory. Jazz historian Bret Sjerven provides liner notes for this release, alongside never-before-published photos.
