Description: | Rahsaan Roland Kirk once said "I don't have to create a Vibration Society, it created us!" Saxophonist/Multi-instrumentalist Rahsaan Roland Kirk was blind, but his music, compositions, arrangements and concepts were beyond any sighted musicians of his day and genre. As evidenced in the recent hit documentary "The Case of the One-Sided Dream", his influence is not only still being felt, but is making an actual resurgence among millennials. Thus, we bring to you the one and only document of his "ghost" band, which presented, in an official capacity, his original music and spirit, at least for a few years in the 1980s. Named for his own band, The Vibration Society, it posthumously included Kirk alumni, Steve Turre (trombone), Hilton Ruiz (piano), as well as Jazz legends Bill Hardman (trumpet) and Junior Cook (tenor sax), who had been known for leading their own jazz combo at this time. Rounded out by drummer Leroy Williams, and bassist Paul Brown, this musical tribute to Kirk's spirit and compositions, provides an organic and musically intelligent view of Kirk the composer; something that has been slept on entirely among Rahsaan's musical legacy, which makes this a very important record, recorded in 1986 in New Jersey."Spirits Up Above" by Vibration Society is a captivating CD release that transports listeners into the heart of spiritual jazz and soul-infused grooves. This album showcases the band's dynamic interplay, blending rich improvisations with deep-rooted rhythms and melodic explorations. Each track resonates with uplifting energy, drawing from both classic influences and contemporary sounds to create an immersive listening experience. The production quality ensures every nuance shines through, making it a must-have for collectors and new fans alike.
Vibration Society has steadily built their reputation as innovators in modern jazz fusion. Known for their electrifying live performances and intricate compositions, they have garnered critical acclaim across international music circles. Their previous works have been celebrated for pushing genre boundaries while maintaining emotional depth?a testament to their artistry.
