For this recording, the compositions were inspired by the shapes and symbolism of the Mdw Ntr, a transliteration of the Kemetic writing system, usually called hieroglyphics. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatured prominently is the masterful spoken word artist Kokayi, who brings a freewheeling, rhythmically-acute, almost tent revival aesthetic to the proceedings and whose appearance is most likely the first time that a rapper has performed at the venerable club. Inspired by the Vanguard's magical vibe, the band is absolutely on fire, with sets that are intense, raw, and playful, and, as always, propelled by a powerful groove that is the hallmark of Coleman's music.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Coleman (alto saxophone)\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJonathan Finlayson (trumpet)\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKokayi (wordsmith)\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthony Tidd (bass)\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSean Rickman (drums)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMenes To Mides\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 To 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnit Fractions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMdw Ntr\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLittle Girl I'll Miss You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRumble Young Man Rumble\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompassion (drum Solo) - Ascending Numeration - DeAhBo (reset)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKhet \u0026amp; KaBa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePad Thai - Mdw Ntr\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeAhBo (Reset)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9 To 5 - Mdw Ntr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55129050218881,"sku":"1347822","price":19.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51BSb48t9mL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766809787","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1347822","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
