Senegalese guitarist Hervé Samb returns with a new and sixth album titled Jolof. The inventor of “Jazz-Sabar” swings his creativity around the musical traditions of his country. An inspired and jubilant record.
The incredible expressiveness of this guitarist has been heard alongside the greatest: Oumou Sangaré, Salif Keïta, Jimmy Cliff, Omar Pène and Marcus Miller. His arrangements have adorned the albums of Toni Green or Lisa Simone – the daughter of Nina Simone.
Instrumentalist, arranger, but also producer and composer, he has the full range of talents. He is also an experimenter, an inventor, a pioneer of a unique style, jazz-sabar, the product of a singular fusion between the Senegalese tradition and the swinging freedoms of American jazz.
