An inspired soulfulness dominates the four extended compostions that make
up Capetown Shuffle, Live At HotHouse the second Delmark release by saxophonist
Ernest DawkinsÕ New Horizons Ensemble. Recorded in Chicago, August of 2002,
Capetown Shuffle celebrates numerous facets of the African American experience,
from the gritty blues and AACM adventurousness of South Side Chicago to
joyful New Orleans marches to the ancient ancestral grooves of South Africa.
It was a special challenge to perform live all new compositions never played
before an audience. The awesome results show why NHE shows are unique and
flow unlike those of any other band. Also available: JoÕburg Jump (Delmark
