Tracklisting & More Information

Recorded with a who's who of fusion titans including trumpeter Eddie Henderson, bassist Stanley Clarke, and keyboardist Herbie Hancock, Dance of Magic channels the lessons drummer Norman Connors learned in the employ of Pharoah Sanders, Sam Rivers, and Sun Ra, marshaling Latin rhythms, electronic textures, and cosmic mysticism to create nondenominational yet deeply spiritual funk-jazz. The sprawling 21-minute title cut spans the entirety of the record's first half, capturing a monumental jam session that explores the outer edges of free improvisation but never steps past the point of no return.

Connors' furious drumming is like a trail of bread crumbs that leads his collaborators back home. The remaining three tracks are smaller in scale but no less epic in scope, culminating with the blistering "Give the Drummer Some." by Jason Ankeny

5*Review from UK VIBE by Steve W. Heath
So let’s picture the scene in Jimmy Carter’s 1976: Norman was notching up chart credits, Stanley Clarke, Alphonse Mouzon and Cecil McBee had made their own albums, the Vietnam War was over and, oh yes, the Buddah label had a cracking album they decided to reissue as the season for giving approached with some bright spark at the label rebooting the sleeve artwork for good measure. And that’s when the proverbial penny dropped and the album elevated itself to the high standing we hold it in today – a majestic classic.

As with all reissues from the PP People, exquisite re-mastering, sleeve printing and 180g pressing gives the album all the credit and respect it deserves and for this writer, the best copy he’s ever owned. For us and for Norman, this was to be the start of something very special and should be welcomed into households near and far – with or without a dapper jacket and scarf!
