''The Spirits Of Our Ancestors'' is an album by pianist Randy Weston that was recorded in 1991 and issued on the Verve label. While all of the compositions (with the exception of one traditional Moroccan song) were penned by Weston himself, the music on the album is more specifically a collaborative arranging effort between Weston and arranger Melba Liston. The music on ''Spirits'' is played by an all-star cast of well known musicians, including Dizzy Gillespie, Pharoah Sanders, Dewey Redman, Idris Muhammad, and Idrees Sulieman. ''Spirits'' was originally intended to be a grand culmination of Weston's experience living in and absorbing the music of Morocco. The album was to be recorded with the local musicians he had been exposed to on location in Morocco; however, due to the onset of the Gulf War around the time of recording, they decided to relocate to New York. This change of plans did not affect the authenticity of the music. The main focus of the album, as stated in the liner notes, is to "pay homage to our musical predecessors" and to "celebrate the universal musical language that transcends race, color, and nationality." == Tracklisting == # "African Village Bedford-Stuyvesant" 3:21 # "The Healers" 10:48 # "African Cookbook" 17:16 # "La Elaha-Ella Allah/Morad Allah" (traditional) 6:43 # "The Call" 6:12 # "African Village Bedford-Stuyvesant 2" 8:30 # "The Seventh Queen" 16:28 # "Blue Moses" 12:01 # "African Sunrise" 19:54 # "A Prayer For Us All" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Spirits of Our Ancestors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
