Egypt Strut (remastered) CD

1973's Egypt Strut, a rare album from jazz bandleader Salah Ragab and his Cairo Jazz Band (a collective of musicians who were then serving with him in the Egyptian army), has long been considered one of global jazz's "crown jewels" - an inspired, hard-to-find set that offers arguably the greatest fusion of Afro-American jazz, Arabian music and Sun Ra style spirituality ever committed to wax. This CD reissue has been marketed as the "definitive" version of the set. It expands on the original recording by adding eight previously unreleased recordings from the sessions that led to the album, as well as liner notes that tell the whole remarkable story of Egypt Strut's concept and creation.
