Spirit First And Last
Spirit First And Last
Dedicated to Rashied Ali
“Special props to the great Rashied Ali, who was in the audience, undoubtedly supporting and inspiriting this creative blowout. I want to thank Rashied for shouting my name out for all to hear, as I shouted his name out! We all want to thank the spirit of Rashied Ali for his profound contribution to jazz, drumming, and creative spiritual music. May the blessings be to all these great cats who showed up and gave it up. Soulful gratitude to all beings throughout all the worlds of creation whose purpose and heart need is to be healed by this sacred sound, and liberated by the fire of Spirit First and Last.” —Tisziji
