THIS IS ABSOLUTELY A VINYL LOVERS DREAM!!! A SEALED SHRINK NEVER OPENED MINT CONDITION SUPER RARE JAZZ GOODIE!!!
The Descendants of Mike & Phoebe is a group named after their slave ancestors. Percussionists Billy Higgins and Sonny Brown join the Lee Family members for this one-of-a-kind album of legendary jazz.
"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! Descendants Of Mike & 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."- Drago Museveni
