Gwotet is an album by David Murray released on the Justin Time label. Recorded in 2003 and released in 2004 the album features performances by Murray and the Gwo-Ka Masters with Pharoah Sanders.[1] It is Murray's second album with the Gwo-Ka Masters following Yonn-Dé (2002).
Reviewing for The Village Voice in September 2004, Tom Hull called Gwotet as "a foray into pan-African cosmopolitanism" and "a nonstop riot of rhythm and horns".
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "Freed from playing jazz standards or very free improvisations, Murray really thrives in this exotic setting . . . 'Gwotet,' 'Ouagadougou,' and 'Djolla Feeling' are high points, but there are no slow moments during the infectious set of danceable but somewhat unclassifiable music."[2]
