Meaning \"fasting\" in the Afro-Semitic languages Tigrinya and Amharic, as well as in Arabic, Tsom represents a time of prayer, reflection and discipline across northeast Africa. Guided by this tradition, Story draws on the musical heritage of the Horn of Africa and musical traditions of the Middle East to create a spiritual jazz album that reflects on devotion, transformation and the power of letting go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorking with frequent collaborators Carlos Niño, Sudan Archives, Kamasi Washington, Jimetta Rose and Kibrom Birhane, the album touches on themes of reflection, inner poise and a quest for deeper connections, bound by explorations of traditional rhythms from the Horn of Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNamed after jazz saxophone legend Dexter Gordon, Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, music director and producer Dexter Story is one of the key figures in the city's vibrant creative music scene. Renowned for his genre-defying approach, he has collaborated with an extraordinary range of artists, including Carlos Niño, Madlib, Kamasi Washington, Build An Ark and Gaslamp Killer. His acclaimed solo albums Wondem and Bahir, released by Soundway, established him as a distinctive voice at the intersection of jazz, African music and contemporary production. Most recently, Story produced Mulatu Astatke's acclaimed studio album Mulatu Plays Mulatu, further cementing his reputation as one of today's most sought-after creative producers and musical collaborators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album continues Dexter’s signature blend of Jazz, Soul and East African rhythmic experiments, examining themes of searching for meaning in unexpected places. T’som brings together the best of the LA underground with Ethiopian and Eritrean musical traditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUNDWAY RECORDS LIMITED","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":58989265518917,"sku":"SNDW221LP","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/4099\/1797\/files\/5060571364340.jpg?v=1787669522"}],"url":"https:\/\/miniwax.club\/en\/collections\/artist-dexter-story.oembed","provider":"Miniwax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
