QSTV can be watched on Youtube, Twitch and Facebook. “As Buzz Music recently said ‘Marcus preferred sound does not stop with one genre.”

 

JUMA SULTAN

It was in New York that Juma forged the relationships that would cement his role in the world of music. He met Ali K. Abuwi with whom he co-formed the still active, free-form musical collective Aboriginal Music Society. His career in jazz was flourishing, as he was finding work on the Double Bass, percussion, and various woodwinds. Some of the musicians with whom he collaborated during this period include: Albert Ayler, Pharaoh Sanders, Sonny Sharrock, Archie Shepp, James “Blood” Ullmer, Dave Burell, Barry Altshult, and Sam Rivers.
It was in Woodstock in 1968 where Juma Sultan renewed his acquaintance with Jimi Hendrix. Their ongoing collaboration through the guitarist’s death in 1970 is documented on numerous Jimi Hendrix recordings, on the Dick Cavett television show, and other public appearances. Perhaps most famously, Juma Sultan was part of the Gypsy Sun and Rainbows band that backed Jimi Hendrix at the Woodstock festival.
Over the ensuing years, Juma Sultan has not stopped creating, having produced concerts, managed artists, and continuing to perform and record. He released “Father of Origin,” a box set of recordings from the Loft Jazz days as well as a cornucopia of content including a booklet of information and Juma’s ‘protest’ letter for the Newport Jazz Festival programming. He also released “Whispers from the Archive,” a double-album of music from his Aboriginal Music Society collective.
