Fired-up and confident, Wilson kicked off with his Delta Rhythm Project, a quartet drawn from the album's big band. Gary Crosby's bass and Erroll Linton's harmonica set the tempos and guitarist Giorgio Sercu took care of the harmonies as Wilson sang, played and rapped engagingly through the suite's highlights.

The venerable Mack Rebennack, looking heavier but much healthier than in his voodoo-medicine days, then spread some "Nawlins" magic of his own. Backed by bluesy guitarist John Fohl, jazzy tenorist Ronnie Cuber, funky drummer-MC Herman Ernest and Fender-bass ace David Barard, he applied his inimitable Delta drawl to lowdown versions of One 2am Too Many and Right Place, Wrong Time.

To cheers, London-based Wilson was summoned back on stage. His growls and wah-wah cries on Don't Mean a Thing were lost while soundmen sought his mic, but lyrical statements on Don't Wanna Know Bout Evil and The Monkey Speaks His Mind raised the roof. So potent were Abram's spells he might have been a regular on the medicine man's travelling show. Stranger things have happened.
