Kamal Abdul-Alim is an accomplished teacher, bandleader, composer and trumpeter who has been making high class music for many years. It has taken him to gigs all over the world and to working with all manner of bands, big and small. Drawing on the post-box sounds of the 50s and layering in 60s free-form jazz with his own fine textures, he is a real underrated artist and master of improv. This record includes hugely sought after jazz-dance bomb 'Brotherhood' as well as four other lengthy classics.
