I bought the whole Phillip Wilkerson discography because it was $9 for 49 releases and I have liked one or two of his. A lot of it has not really been exciting me much - not bad at all, but a lot of fairly similar drifty-droney pieces in which I would like more texture (though it could be I will react differently on a different day or when not trying to absorb 30 hours or so of his material). Somehow this one is really hitting the mark. I don't know if it's just one of those times when the right sound matches the right mood, but this particular release has really enhanced my evening.
This traditional melody from the Maghreb is traditionally sung in either
Hebrew or Darija (Moroccan dialect of Arabic). The Hebrew version ( Eli
Shema Koli אֵלִי שְמַה קוֹלִי) is a liturgical poem where the
protagonist cries out to God in the hope of redemption. The Darija
version (Sidi Habibi سيدي حبيبي) is a secular love song about unrequited
love between the protagonist singer and the imagined lover. We call our
mash up of the two versions UNTIL WHEN named after the first line of
the first Hebrew stanza - עַד מַתָי אֲקַוֶה לִרְאוֹת גְאוּלָתְךָ –Until
when shall I wait to see your redemption?
In some Jazz forum recently, I saw someone ask whether there was ever a bad Black Saint/Soul Note record, which I assume was a hypothetical rhetorical question
