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!

[@mymoviesbetter8466]

I am an adult with autism and I can definitely second this. I have loved jazz, especially monk and miles and coltrane since I was a baby.

[@anxious_ape]

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

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!

[@AudioPervert1]

It's revivalism, if the recording is from now. Future, well it keeps coming back ... this haunted 60s 70s 80s 90s into the 21st century!

[@theinfamouspokeinrichmondc3543]

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

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.

[@El_Chuncho]

@@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

I'm touched beyond words...genius! Tom Misch brought me to Yussef Dayes during covid, and I'm thankful every day.

[@kevinmolsby9285]

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.

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.
