A superb performance of spiritual jazz with an explosive heavy groove.
An album by drummer Idris Muhammad. A powerful piece that blends funk and jazz with a heavy rhythm, creating an energetic piece that beautifully blends the spirit of black music with free improvisation.
The explosive drums open with a powerful rhythm that unfolds with a low, undulating center of gravity. The bass and horns intertwine organically, creating an ensemble that is both powerful and dynamic. Idris Muhammad's playing is powerful yet sensitive, blending jazz-inspired improvisation with the structural power of funk in each track. Covers of tracks like "Express Yourself" and "Super Bad" deepen the groove of the originals, embodying the innovation of black music in the early 1970s. This work, with its combination of passion and structure, is a masterpiece that will hold an important place in the history of jazz-funk.
