5.0 out of 5 stars 19,000 Moons, October 30, 2003

Faruq Z. Bey of Detroit is a profesional at what he does. He is full of soul and feeling. Listening to this album over and over again will put you in a state of calm and warm emotion. This is at least the emotions that I got after listening to this album several times. The first few times I listened, I quite didn't get it. Musically satisfying I put it up there with Mingus and Coltrane. This music put the hairs of my body sticking straight up. My favorite track on the album is called "After Death". This song starts out with Faruq on sax creating overtones and slowly increasing strength and then the bass of Johnston hits and everthing is into one. Vibes, drums sax and bass!!! This is one of my favorite Jazz tunes of all time. This is in my top five of all time. This is an Album of spirituallity. Check it out!

19 Moons is one of those "must haves" to any fan of experimental jazz. The atmospheric layers create a aural journey that will take you to places you never knew existed but always knew were where you needed to be. And the really amazing thing is that the follow up albums ("Ashirai Pattern," "Auzar," "Rwanda," and "Infa'a") are even better. Get it now: if you're dissapointed, I'll come to your house and wash dishes for a year.
