DOUBLE VINYL SET

This is the dangerous tandem of Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson caught in action at the NYC Bottom Line in hot August 1977, just a week before the release of "Bridges" one of their best and durable efforts of the season. At the head of a super tight line up the two deliver a dense performance of politically conscious music based on unapologetic words and soulful sounds. Not just a stream of hits but dense, expanded renditions full of improvisation including timeless pieces such as "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" and "Winter in America".
