Abdul Wadud - By Myself (1977)
"Happiness" by Abdul Wadud - From "By Myself: Solo Cello" (Originally released in 1977, remastered and reissued in 2023)
Julius Hemphill & Abdul Wadud Live in New York - Echo 1 (Morning)
Drummer, composer, and producer Tom Skinner (The Smile, Sons of Kemet) releases his new album, Voices of Bishara, the first recording under his own name, on November 4, via Brownswood / International Anthem / Nonesuch. You can pre-order and hear the track "Bishara" now here.
The album's title references cellist Abdul Wadud's 1978 album By Myself, which was pressed on Wadud's label, Bishara—an Arabic name meaning "good news." Voices of Bishara began life when Skinner asked some musician friends to join him for a Played Twice session at London's Brilliant Corners, in which a classic album was played in full through the venue's audiophile system, and a live ensemble improvised a response. That night focused on drummer Tony Williams' 1964 album Life Time; the music they conjured inspired Skinner to write an album's worth of new music.
