He was Nigerian guitar God, famous for his incendiary lead breaks with Aktion and Monomono. She was one of Nigeria's first female bandleaders who went off to the US and became a big deal in the New Jazz scene there. It should be no surprise then that when Jimi Lee and Monah Finnih got together in 1980 for A Stroll In The Moonlight, an Afro Jazz cosmic funk masterpiece was born. Intricately arranged, beautifully produced, and showcasing the musicianship of the highest order, A Stroll In The Moonlight was a notch above anything else that was coming out of Nigeria at the time. "I Love Myself” is the perfect amalgam of a tight, horn-driven Lagos groove and an American New Jazz sheen. "People of the World” is pure Afro Funk, brightened by Jimi Lee's sunny, twangy guitar. "Son of A Man” brings reggae to the table and "Iya Alakara” is a Lijadu Sisters style cosmic paean to beefcakes and plantains. Taking a stroll with Nigerian music's oddest couple is a slinky, funky affair that comes highly recommended, but be warned: You'll work up a sweat.  - Peter Moore
