Nuba is an album by American jazz drummer Andrew Cyrille, vocalist Jeanne Lee, and saxophonist Jimmy Lyons, recorded in 1979 for the Italian Black Saint label.[1]
The two versions of "Nuba" are based on Jeanne Lee's poem "Nuba", written in June 1979 and dedicated to Lyons and Cyrille. "In These Last Days" is a setting of Lee's 1973 poem of the same name, from her collection "The Valley of Astonishment and Bewilderment." The texts of both poems are included in the liner notes, and the opening lines of "Nuba" appear on the album cover preceding the title.[2]
