He promised to dig out his masters and send them to us for our consideration. But he’d recorded with different ensembles finding the first threads of his musical tapestry would take time. We were intrigued, so we put in a call to New World Generation’s bandleader, Lekan Parsons and found that he had recorded more music in the years leading up to the New World Generation EP. We heard echoes of the Roy Ayers produced RAMP sessions and the precise yet sensual vibes of the foundation known as Earth, Wind and Fire. We first got a taste of the New World Generation when Phil Morrison, bassist for avant-garde, Boston-based jazzers Stark Reality, sent us a copy of New World Generation’s solitary recorded document: a five song EP that the band privately released in 1982. Note: songs from CD disc two are not contained on the 2LP version of this album. Presented as a 2CD and as a 2LP both formats contain extensive liner notes with rare photographs and ephemera. We’re happy to present New World Generation’s self-titled anthology, a collection of rare and unreleased soul, disco and boogie by the cult New England ensemble. Rare and unreleased late 70s and early 80s disco, soul and boogie recorded by the cult New England ensemble.
