{"product_id":"5060149622643","title":"Descendants of Mike \u0026 Phoebe: Spirit Speaks (Vinyl LP)","description":"\"One 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.\"  Two Songs for a Boy Named Mark, Little Bitty Baby, Soliloquy to a Man-Child, Coltrane, Chick Chick, Well Done Weldon, A Spirit Speaks, Attica, Take My Hand Precious Lord, Boll Weevil, Don't Be a Stranger, Too Little Too Late","brand":"Pure Pleasure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39589481578646,"sku":"5060149622643","price":76.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2231\/7305\/products\/3701673_73e344cc-5df4-489b-a8b4-df6dda322dc5.jpg?v=1704940332","url":"https:\/\/www.besvinyl.com\/products\/5060149622643","provider":"besvinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
