Harpist Jeff Majors’ 1986 spiritual jazz LP For Us All (Yoka Boka) reissued for the first time

A student of Alice Coltrane.

Jeff Majors’ album For Us All (Yoka Boka) is being reissued on vinyl for the first time, this December via Invisible City Editions.

Originally released via a private press in 1986, the LP was inspired by Majors’ trip to Gambia.

According to Invisible City, For Us All (Yoka Boka) sees Major “fusing the lofty sensibilities he absorbed from the cosmic jazz masters Alice Coltrane and Brother Ah with an accessible sonic palette drawn from the synth-driven electronic sounds of 1980’s soul music, as well as traditional African instruments.”

Its 9-tracks feature a combination of originals and covers, including an arrangement of the Gershwins’ ‘Summertime’.
