Spirit Rising

Interpreter: Angelique Kidjo
Label: Wrasse
Location: Benin

Angelique Kidjo's first-ever live album, with a slew of guests including Diane Reeves and Branford Marsalis, a large band and a selection of greatest hits and covers. The latter include the Stones' staple 'Gimme Shelter' reimagined with an uptempo Latin-tinged groove, Curtis Mayfield's 'Move On Up' and a swinging version of 'Summertime'.
