This year is so far proving to be a good period for the reissue of gems of British jazz and black music that have been lost in the mists of time. Hot on the heels of Joe Harriott and Amancio D'Silva's Hum Dono comes this nugget by the Nigerian master drummer who made an essential contribution to British culture in the widest sense during the 1960s. Common denominator between the Notting Hill carnival and the 14 Hour Technicolour Dream, Johnson was a visionary bandleader as well as skilled percussionist and this fabulous blend of highlife rhythms and jazz, which can be placed in roughly the same lineage as contemporaneous works by Guy Warren and Babatunde Olatunji, is arguably his greatest legacy. The constantly percolating percussive base of the music as well as the smartly woven horn motifs and occasional vocal chants catch the ear from the outset, above all for the precision with which all the parts are arranged. But first and foremost the album lives up to its title, meaning that this is dance music to which any form of resistance can be nothing other than futile.
