Saxophonist Cedric "Im" Brooks is a pioneer of deep roots reggae, joining Count Ossie's Mystic Revelation Of Rastafari in 1970, and the Light Of Saba later on -- along with numerous solo, collaborative, and session recordings. "United Africa" is a virtuosic blend of all of his influences -- African rhythms, American funk and spiritual jazz, and Jamaican roots -- both hypnotic and invigorating.
