‘Music is the First Language’ — Randy Weston Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Oversized Tee

“Music is the first language.” Randy Weston said this in his later years, in an interview with the National Endowment for the Arts — the Brooklyn-born pianist had spent decades tracing jazz back through African rhythm, living in Morocco and setting it all down in his 2010 autobiography African Rhythms. He meant it as anthropology: rhythm reached us before words did, which is why music still crosses borders speech gets stopped at.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
