{"product_id":"destiny-calling-805552221428","title":"Destiny Calling","description":"A deeply melodic guitarist along the lines of Grant Green. Apicella faithfully has sought to channel an era of American music when hard-bop and r\u0026amp;b reigned - But the guitarist still manages to keep things fresh. - DownBeat. New York guitarist Charlie Apicella's musical voice runs historically deep, with his 7 recordings to date highly focused on celebrating the elders of jazz, R\u0026amp;B, and the Blues. His band, Iron City, has been with him the whole way, providing a base context for all of his projects. With \"Destiny Calling,\" this hard bop rhythm section drives headlong into the future as the elder masters of The Griots Speak draw from a lifetime of experience in communication with the ancestors. Trail blazing percussionist Juma Sultan formed the Griots with saxophonist Daniel Carter, bassist William Parker and Apicella to help celebrate a patriarch of New York's '60's loft scene. Simultaneously fluid, extroverted, light, confrontational, and meditative, their music is poetry in motion. They create spontaneously, as they move between instruments, including a variety of indigenous instruments which convey a pan-ancestral tapestry at the core of their sound. For Apicella, it's the realization of lessons learned through his studies with Yusef Lateef and the opportunity to further amplify the legacy.","brand":"Oa2","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521082429523,"sku":"2562626X","price":15.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4209087_72b6da0e-f1ed-4207-8cb1-d37123301a80.jpg?v=1790381484","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/destiny-calling-805552221428","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
