‘Nigerian Wood’ is Keziah Jones’ debut US album. Written and inspired in constant flux between Brooklyn, Paris, Lagos and London and recorded at the legendary studios Electric Lady (NY) and Track Record (LA).

The album is produced by Karriem Riggins the highly sought after jazz / hip hop drummer – producer – collaborator (Oscar Peterson, Diana Krall, Erykah Badu, Common, Mad Lib). Riggins brings an elegant, spare production style to Jones’ organized and delicious confrontation between African avant-gardism and the great black American music tradition.

Four albums after the statement of intent that was ‘Blufunk is a fact’, the maverick tradition of George Clinton, Fela Kuti, Miles and Hendrix the precision and honesty of Curtis Mayfield and D’Angelo and the funk of Prince meet on ‘Nigerian Wood’.
