Idris Muhammad Black Rhythm Revolution LP RM RE VMP Blue 740/1000 Funky Jazz Melvin Sparks Guitar Work is Incredible
Foil stamped, limited edition of 1000 copies pressed on Revolution blue swirl vinyl. All-analogue mastering. Packaged in tip-on jacket.
Echoing some of the comments below, this is a superb pressing, 100% worth the price. Well balanced, and dead quiet. Nice colour too, if you're into that kinda thing.
Hope VMP add more jazz dispensary releases in the near future
Black Rhythm Revolution! is the first album by the jazz drummer Idris Muhammad. It was recorded in 1970 and released by Prestige Records the following year.
On "Black Rhythm Revolution most of the tracks are good to great, with the lengthy bookends 'By the Red Sea' and 'Wander' both featuring memorable grooves and tight, compact solos. It's just considerably less intense than the title might lead one to believe." The DownBeat reviewer of the album's 2023 re-release wrote that it "features the rarely recognised funkier side of the jazz–fusion genre".
Idris Muhammad (born Leo Morris; November 13, 1939 – July 29, 2014) was an American jazz drummer and bandleader. He had an extensive career performing jazz, funk, R&B, and soul music and recorded with musicians such as Ahmad Jamal, Lou Donaldson, Pharoah Sanders, Bob James, and Tete Montoliu. Muhammad’s first recording as a leader, Black Rhythm Revolution!, was released by Prestige in 1970 and was followed by Peace and Rhythm in 1971. Both of these albums explored a range of styles and traditions found in jazz and New Orleans rhythms.Subsequent albums released on the Kudu imprint, Power of Soul, House of the Rising Sun, and Turn This Mutha Out, took a turn towards funk. These albums have subsequently become favourites of funk enthusiasts and have been heavily sampled by hip-hop artists
