Kahil El'Zabar does my mood
I posted not long ago on Kahil El'Zabar. Yesterday I downloaded one of his early albums as leader (of the Ritual Trio): Renaissance of the Resistance (1994). El'Zabar has roots in very edgy jazz, but this album is both accessible and very compelling. Here is the trio:
I am playing the title cut. It is one of those long, moody, meditations that are just right when you want to wallow in the sweetness of your sadness. Frankly, I need to assemble a playlist of such compositions.
I am also playing 'Trane In Mind'. I am not sure it brings Trane to mind, but it kept me dancing with my beagle while I put together the Kung Pao Shrimp. Trust me; this one will make you want more. Ari Brown's sax wails like he thinks he is Pharaoh Sanders. There is a lot of love in them there notes.
