Idris Muhammad

Artist: Idris Muhammad
LP: Boogie to the Top
Song: "S-E-X"
[ listen ]

Born in New Orleans in November of 1939, drummer Idris Muhammad was known as Leo Morris before he converted to Islam in the 1960s. Click here if you'd like to read about Idris Muhammad and see the long list of great jazz musicians he's worked with over the years. Can anyone tell me how the song "S-E-X" is compatible with Islam while the name "Leo Morris" is not? Not that I'm complaining...
