Our Take

The late, great Gil Scott-Heron never fails to captivate audiences with his soulful musings and socially conscious lyrics. Teaming up with his Amnesia Express for a live recording in '86, it's clear that the legendary poet and musician hasn't lost his touch.

Opening with the infectious groove of "Johannesburg," Scott-Heron effortlessly commands the stage with his smooth vocals and powerful poetry. The band's tight instrumentation perfectly complements his dynamic performance, creating a soulful sound that is both timeless and fresh.

Tracks like "Is That Jazz?" and "Winter in America" showcase Scott-Heron's versatility as an artist, blending elements of jazz, funk, and spoken word in a way that only he can. The audience is swept up in the energy of the music, nodding their heads and tapping their feet in time to the beat.

As the set progresses, Scott-Heron delves deeper into his catalogue, delivering rousing renditions of classics like "The Bottle" and "Home is Where the Hatred Is." His raw honesty and poignant lyricism cut through the air, leaving a lasting impact on all those in attendance.

In a musical landscape dominated by trends and gimmicks, Gil Scott-Heron and his Amnesia Express remind us of the power of authentic, heartfelt artistry. This live recording is a testament to the enduring legacy of one of music's true pioneers. So grab a drink, sit back, and let the music wash over you – you won't be disappointed.
