{"product_id":"joseph-shabason-the-fellowship","title":"Joseph Shabason - The Fellowship Vinyl Record","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcross eight tracks that mesh spacious, jazz-laced composition with fourth-world tonality, saxophonist Joseph Shabason sketches an auditory map of the transcendence, unity, conditioning, and eventual renunciation of his upbringing in an Islamic and Jewish dual-faith household. The resulting album The Fellowship bears the name of the insular Islamic community Shabason's traditionally Jewish parents belonged to from a time before he was even born; a mental and spiritual push-pull which continued shaping, even controlling, his outlook well into his adulthood. As a listening experience The Fellowship follows a chronological arc that spans three generations covering his parents' early lives, his own spiritual and physical adolescence, and his subsequent struggle to eschew the problematic habituations of such a conflicted past. On The Fellowship, as on prior albums that bear his name, Joseph Shabason does what only the best instrumental music makers can: tell a story with emotional clarity that conveys even the subtlest of feelings, all without singing a single word. As wordless as ever- with as complex a theme as ever- this album may be his most emotionally articulate yet. Most importantly, those lost in the woods of repression and self-doubt that organized religion can be at it's worst now have The Fellowship to help guide them into a softer light.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43120903684171,"sku":"844667051575","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/3935531-2697287_f9b8678b-d372-4b3c-8920-d54d3d8c5cc9.jpg?v=1788373457","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/joseph-shabason-the-fellowship","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
