[Audio] Outlyer: Babatunde Lee - Soul Pools (2003)

Soul Pools was the very first official release of Motéma in 2003. This pulsing and powerful album features a remarkable all-starpost-bop/latin cast: Hilton Ruiz (piano), Frank Lacy (trombone), Mario Rivera (saxophones), John Benitez (upright bass), Kevin 'Bujo Jones' (percussion) with guest appearances by Raul Midon and Jana Herzen. Lea comments that "Soul Pools is an ideal, a prayer, a hope for the future and with a little imagination, a practical application. It's an invitation to immerse yourself and wash away dogma, fanaticism, and all that stands in the way of positive change." The album embodies all that Motéma stands for and marked the begining of this grand adventure that is now in its 20th year.
