Lester Bowie’s Brass Fantasy > Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag
Composed by James Brown

I paid a lot of attention to Lester Bowie in the early 70s because he was part of the Art Ensemble of Chicago and then completely lost track. I’m sorry I did, because he led an incredible, parallel solo career. I first heard this track in 1999 on NPR the day he died, and was stupidly surprised how funky, contemporary, inventive, and funny he remained throughout his life.
