Kahil El’zabar Quartet – A Time For Healing (2022)

That would be a nice thing, is all you can think. Not only when you read the title, »A Time For Healing«, but also when you hear the music, or even better: see the quartet play live. Kahil El’ Zabar is almost 70, but the way he sits there stage front and makes music with his voice and instrument, you can project everything into it that otherwise seems so lost: true creativity – as the antithesis of lifestyle creativity, independence – as the antithesis of homogenised individuality –, and desire and hope and connectedness. As the antithesis to the rest. Great music, supra-temporal music that has found its existence beyond things. I’m pretty sure the monads vibed to this jazz.
