First press 2026. LTD Transparent Magenta.
Shabaka in full spiritual mode. This isn’t frantic, cosmic free jazz chaos. It’s grounded. Breath, wood, air moving through space. You can feel the earth in it, proper elemental stuff. Flutes weaving, percussion pulsing gently underneath, everything locked into this meditative but alive groove. It’s deep without being difficult. The sort of record you stick on and the whole room changes temperature. Not background. Not showy. Just centred and serious in the best way.
FFO: Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, Kamasi Washington, The Comet Is Coming
