Soul Jazz reissue of this 1983 album from Count Ossie & The Rasta Family, originally released posthumously after Jamaican drummer and bandleader Count Ossie’s 1976 death in a motor accident. More of a traditional reggae album than some of his other work, but still underpinned by his unique drumming style, and with a heavy jazz influence in parts. Improvisational, meandering jams where each track seems to introduce a brand new texture. The playing is expressionistic but not showy – check the wistful synths and sax solo on ‘Crossing River Jordan’, or the fuzz guitar on ‘Misfits’. Everything comes together on the nearly seven-minute ‘Chanting Higher Heights’.
