Description
This is a classic-sounding record that connects backwards to Skinners 2017 Hello Skinny collaboration with American composer and Arthur Russell-collaborator Peter Zummo on Watermelon Sun. It links sideways to Makaya McCravens beat maker-inspired treatments of jazz sessions, and it offers a musical bridge to Sons of Kemets most meditative moments.
Voices of Bishara began life when Tom Skinner asked some musician friends to join him for a Played Twice session at Londons Brilliant Corners. The regular event had a simple format: play a classic album in full through their audiophile system and then have an elite ensemble improvise their response. The night in question focused on drummer Tony Williams 1964 Blue Note album Life Time and the music he and his friends conjured up was so specialthat it inspired Skinner to write an albums-worth of phenomenal new music.
