{"product_id":"descendants-of-mike-phoebe-spirit-speaks","title":"Descendants Of Mike \u0026 Phoebe- Spirit Speaks (Vinyl) [ vinyl ]","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the most unique albums on the Strata East label - and that's saying a heck of a lot, given the creative energies flowing through that legendary jazz outlet! Descendents Of Mike \u0026amp; Phoebe is a righteous little project put together by Spike Lee's father, Bill Lee, and his brothers and sisters (Cliff Lee, Grace Lee Mims, and Consuela Lee Moorhead) - working here in a group named after their slave ancestors, who are paid tribute in a beautifully flowing batch of tunes! Lee's round, warm bass tones are firmly at the head of the group on most numbers - recorded at a similar level to his excellent work with Clifford Jordan on Strata East during the same time - and other instrumentation includes piano from Consuela, flugelhorn from Cliff, and percussion from Sonny Brown and Billy Higgins - all used in a wonderfully evocative style that's even better than some of Lee's later soundtrack work. A few numbers feature vocals from Grace - singing wordlessly and with a really heavenly sort of quality - and together, the whole group have an undeniable sense of power and majesty, yet also one that's touched by a really personal sense of poetry too. Titles include a great version of Lee's \"Coltrane\", which was more famously recorded with Clifford Jordan.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Songs for a Boy Named Mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Bitty Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoliloquy to a Man-Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColtrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChick Chick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell Done Weldon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Spirit Speaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake My Hand Precious Lord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoll Weevil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Be a Stranger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToo Little, Too Late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 5060149622643\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Pure Pleasure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53151659032912,"sku":"5060149622643","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/6792\/6096\/files\/3701673.jpg?v=1781595641","url":"https:\/\/focus-sports-2.myshopify.com\/products\/descendants-of-mike-phoebe-spirit-speaks","provider":"FOCUS SPORTS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
