Have an adult autistic son whose life revolves around music. Whenever he is out of sorts and rolling with his dad, I usually play some Monk or Eric Dolphy; the dissonance acts as a calming mechanism. Played this album on the way to the gym with him this morning. As soon as the music started he began his bouncing, then started his rapping and happy gesticulations, feeling and embracing the music. Therapy of the highest order. Merci beaucoup Brother Dayes!
This album is the past, present, and future at once. I got in the first two minutes of the first track and decided I had to listen on a better system than my laptop. This is unreal. This was the perfect soundtrack to cleaning and organizing my artist studio while fueling the drive of the jazz singer that has been bored with music as of late. Thank you for this offereing. The ancestors are truly elated and you should be proud. This jazz auntie has danced, cried, sobbed, undulated, winded, and pranced to this masterpiece. Your name will be among the greats one day. I proclaim it on your behalf as an elder. Congrats!
I was in a place in life where I need prayer on clarity this past Friday (9-9-2023). I went home lit some candles and played this entire album. The clarity that I needed revealed itself to me the following morning. This is one of the best albums I have listened to from beginning to end since John Coltrane's A Love Supreme. May everyone reading this and listening to this album be blessed with excellent health and wealth. Bless
I have been immersed in jazz, rumba, soukous, hip-hop since I was little. I admit that this album is out of the ordinary. I've been waiting for this album. Yussef Dayes, you are one of the best. From Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo 🇨🇩.
Damn - this is so nice. Sitting on the balcony, plugged in and smoking one on a balmy Barbados night with the frogs chirping in the background makes it even better. Black Classical Music in Black Rock....❤💚🖤
Awesome Yussef..at 70 years old it's so nice to hear real music when so much is a rehash of the same sound or just uninventive. So refreshing and soulful. Thank You!!!
Since I’ve started listening to Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes, Rocco Paladino, I can’t listen to rap music. Only Jazz, Techno and Classic music. Magnificent work Yussef, many congratulations. Cheers
Just discovered the album after listening to the live @ Joshua Tree which I listen to regularly. Outstanding. Touched also by how involved Jamaicans from the island and the diaspora are featuring here. This young generation has talent, as I am already a fan of Chronixx & Masego. Outstanding musicianship. Thank you for this gem on Tuesday morning in Addis Ababa.
@@malcolmbenjamin28 😂 Malcolm Benjamin aka Mr. Hebrew Israelite. Don't you have some colonizing to do? Since you wanna buck tho, let's setup a ZOOM call. Since I'm actually out here doing the work and not just on the internet, I have access to all types of stuff to get the ball rolling. I ain't hard to find. I would love to dismantle the nonsense.
@@malcolmbenjamin28 Malcolm Benjamin. Where are you? How come everytime I ask someone to meet over a Zoom call for a discussion, they go silent? As a member of the Black Alliance for Peace we seek to recapture and redevelop the historic anti-war, anti-imperialist, and pro-peace positions of the radical black movement. Through educational activities, organizing and movement support, we work to oppose both militarized domestic state repression, and the policies of de-stabilization, subversion and the permanent war agenda of the U.S. state globally. If all of this frightens you then I understand. 😂 smh
This is my favorite album of 2023, and I love it even more now that I just caught an Easter egg. At 53:00, "Mantra" by Makaya McCraven is playing in the background! What a great shoutout to another talented percussionist and producer 🥺
First of all, the afro on this cover is EVERYTHING. Second, I am a therapist and I love that I can play this album in the school setting without having to worry about inappropriate language or subject matter, AND there is the added benefit of being so calming, but not in the way that would put you to sleep. Thank you for sharing your gift!
Great album! There are so many great jazz artists right now - Yussef Dayes, Matthew Halsall, Bloto/EABS, ADHD, Badbadnotgood, Àbáse, High Pulp, Gogo Penguin, Alfa Mist, Jazzbois, Yazz Ahmed.....
@@gontsekganyago4079 Kokoroko is more afrobeat to my knowledge, but thanks for bringing them to my attention again. Their album from a year ago flew under my radar.
True music knows no time, place or trend. This is timeless, a universal sound for those who really hear. 10 billion years into the past or future, this album will talk to those who listen ❤💛💚
I had a friend whose daughter was autistic and they were having trouble calming her down then one day I noticed that when a piano was going namely James booker she was just took somewhere else by the sound . So I really love to hear other stories that further proves music is truly healing and therapeutic.
that drum sequence towards the end of the first song was just magical, wow. i almost acsended while doing my school work. i literally had to pause my work to listen to that.... simply amazing
I didn't realize how much I needed this album, until I listened to it. From the organized chaos in the opening track that takes you on a journey thru what can be considered the Diaspora of musical influences that Yussef taps into. What a sonic masterpiece. This is indeed Black Classical Music.
This album is fantastic. What is old is new again. Reminds me of Jazz of the 60's and 70's, but especially of Kamasi Washington's 2015 release: "Changing of the Guard", among the greatest Jazz albums ever released.
Sometimes I was listening to this kind of genres, but was not too much into it. You guys just stole my heart! It is something I cannot explain and I really love what you do! Please, don't ever stop! ❤
THIS IS SO GOOOOD!!! Idk the last time I said “wth THIS ALBUM IS SO GOOD” this many times out loud to myself. I’m literally talking to myself about how good this is. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
My cats are loving this album… hanging out with them on the living room floor, watching them love their ears to catch the best, deepest bass lines, giving them some catnip every once and a while…this is bliss! Thank you❤
instantly removes all of the stress, tension and anxiety brought on by the exercises of "modern living" ....thank you for recording and sharing this medicine
@@gontsekganyago4079 Are you referring to "We Could Be More"? I do like that album, but I dont think it had the same level of variety, and that was released in 2022, so would be out of the running at any rate, despite its excellence.
I’ve listened to this album so many times now and already it’s had a profound impact on my life, my creativity, the way I listen and I am eternally grateful. Thank you so so much
Jazz is a powerful form of art that is entirely afrodescendant. This can never be forgotten. Internally I try to praise and pay respect to the great minds of music (and thus life) that came from this culture/ethny. May this deep and beautiful expression never cease. May we forever celebrate Human Music and its voices.
The greatest shame of black music is the fact that since the advent of rap and hip hop people stopped played REAL instruments and mainly stole other people's music now it seems that things are changin . It would be great to give the recognition that it deserve to DISCO-FUNK that it is a genre that like no other was (and is) made of immense soulful vocalists immense musicians great danceability using real musicians and real instruments in order to do so . It is still the only real modern dance music.
If you listen to white radio you'll hear mostly synths and samples too. It's a result of technology and a corporate recording industry that wants to maximize profits. Why pay for a full studio and session musicians when you can buy a synthesized beat from some kid in his bedroom? If that's all you play, the people won't even know what they're missing after a while.
@@jbo8540 Of course but as Marsalis stated black people have betrayed the symbol of black music culture : the drums . Whites and Asians invented synthesized music (kraftwerk synth pop bands etc.) and blacks rather than dislike this souless music have embraced it and put on a level superior of REAL black music...this is a shame. Of course the majority of nowadays "music" is temporary crap except Bruno Mars (and similar bands) that still play real black disco-funk music. Yussef Dayes and the nu fusion movement are also rediscover the essence of black music that is made of soul and emotion .
@@Kouros-t6d "Whites and Asians invented synthesized music (kraftwerk synth pop bands etc.) and blacks rather than dislike this souless music have embraced it and put on a level superior of REAL black music" that's not in favor, my friend. many black artists pioneered the use of synths, people like herbie hancock, weather report, earth wind and fire, the isley brothers, miles davis, and MJ made extensive use of synths and other electronic instruments. the "soul" of music does not come from the instruments used, but from the composers who wrote it, and the musicians that play it. instruments, electronic or otherwise, are just tools. you can make music with heart and emotion behind it with anything that can make a sound. tl:dr, it's people who put the soul in music, not instruments.
Raisins under the Sun sounds so sad on this album compared to the live performance @ Joshua Tree. Yet, I make sure to listen to it. Poor little raisins 🤣🤣
Thank you to everyone tuning in

I struggle with metal issues and I can deeply relate. Thank you for sharing.

I love this album. Then I payed close attention to #6 and melted in tears, resonating with dad's love for his daughter. Beautiful.

Peace and respect to Kinshasa and the DR Congo, from Cork city in Ireland....
Peace and Love to DRC from Kenya.

Wow...could not have said it BETTER myself!!! As soon as I heard it, I hurried and bought the album off of Ebay!!!
Damn - this is so nice.
Sitting on the balcony, plugged in and smoking one on a balmy Barbados night with the frogs chirping in the background makes it even better.

It's fitting that the Sun is blazing here in the UK as this gets released!

You too! Summer finally arrived (for one week).
perfect timing for this beautiful album
