“Gracing the cover of first issue is the inimitable Sun Ra in 1971, performing in Cairo at the apartment of Cairo Jazz Band co-founder Hartmut Geerken. Alongside these magnificent photos, we publish a comprehensive final conversation with the late Geerken from his Germany home in 2021. We delve into the visual world of Moroccan studio photographer Fouad Zerrei, profile anonymous Soul singer Pale Jay, and explore Mulatu Astatke’s timeless Ethio-jazz hit Tezeta as a cinematic tool in RaMell Ross’ 2024 film Nickel Boys. We also invite vinyl collectors Algerian Vinyl and CrocoDiscos to share the most beloved records.”
