Tom Skinner - Voices Of Bishara

Facts Vinyl LP pressing. 2022 release from drummer, composer, and producer Tom Skinner (The Smile, Sons of Kemet). The first recording under Skinner's own name is a reference to an album he listened to repeatedly during the COVID-19 lockdown: cellist Abdul Wadud's 1978 solo album By Myself, which was privately pressed on Wadud's label, Bishara. The common Arabic name has the intention or meaning of "good news" or "the bringer of good news." The album features Shabaka (Sons of Kemet) and Nubiya Garcia.
