The Descendants Of Mike And Phoebe – A Spirit Speaks
Out of stock
$16.00
One of many projects on Strata-East spearheaded by bassist, composer, and arranger Bill Lee (legendary director Spike Lee’s father), The Descendants of Mike and Phoebe’s only album, A Spirit Speaks, enlists Lee’s brother and sisters—Clif Lee, Grace Lee Mims, and Consuela Lee Moorhead—to form a group named in tribute to their enslaved ancestors. Combining elements of jazz, gospel, soul, and blues, among other influences, A Spirit Speaks has become one of the most sought-after albums from the catalog. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI with audio cut directly from the original analog tapes, remastered by Kevin Gray, housed in a deluxe gatefold tip-on package with newly commissioned liner notes by Harmony Holiday and never-before-seen photos
