{"product_id":"descendants-of-mike-phoebe-spirit-speaks-lp","title":"Descendants of Mike \u0026 Phoebe - Spirit Speaks LP ( 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel: Pure Pleasure\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 5060149622643\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: October 20, 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Songs for a Boy Named Mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Bitty Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Soliloquy to a Man-Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Coltrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chick Chick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Well Done Weldon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Spirit Speaks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Attica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Take My Hand Precious Lord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boll Weevil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Be a Stranger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Too Little Too Late\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"02- Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56732205056373,"sku":"5060149622643","price":8.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8300\/2485\/files\/3701673.jpg?v=1770892606","url":"https:\/\/warmvibevinyls.com\/products\/descendants-of-mike-phoebe-spirit-speaks-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
