The founding member of "The Jazz Modes" and the "Les McCann Trio", drummer Ron Jefferson, set up his own band, the "Ron Jefferson Choir", during his stay in Paris in the mid-1960s. This album recording was offered to him by Polydor International after he had the opportunity to play a series of concerts in his mother country Senegal, in addition to successful performances in Paris. The influence of the trip is evident, for example, in the great track "Africa The Beautiful," where Jefferson is heard playing flute and Senegalese percussion.

Remastered from the MONO master tapes.
