Jimi Lee was a Nigerian guitar god, famous for his incendiary lead breaks with Aktion and MonoMono. Mona Finnih was one of Nigeria's first female band leaders 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.
Also available: A STROLL IN THE MOONLIGHT (LP).
