Jihad was a label that was formed by Imamu Amiri Baraka to broadcast the work of the Jihad Cultural Center, Newark NJ. It produced and issued the three discs worth of material, but recorded much more.
Sonny's Time Now [Jihad’s first release] brought together a fantastic group of free improvisors during the ferment of the "New Thing" of the mid Sixties (Don Cherry-tp; Albert Ayler-ts; Louis Worrell, Henry Grimes-b; Sunny Murray-d; LeRoi Jones [now Imamu Amiri Baraka]-recitation on last track) at a time when their work was causing discussion and argument through-out the jazz world. In many ways Sonny's Time Now may be viewed as a continuation of two classic ESP titles: New York Eye & Ear Control (ESP 1016) and The New York Art Quartet (ESP 1004).
It has been said that Imamu Amiri Baraka has many other tapes that he was never able to issue on the Jihad label. (…) Baraka has stated that he would like to see all of the material gathered by Jihad to be released correctly. I hope that this can be done while I'm still far enough away from senility to enjoy the music.
(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE ARTICLE BY JOE MOUDRY)
Were it not for Murray's name on the cover, Sonny's Time Now could probably be misinterpreted as an Albert Ayler record. Like Eric Dolphy before him, Ayler simply dominated sessions as a sideman. His painfully wide vibrato is instantly recognizable, but this is a much more fractured affair than most Ayler records of the time. Missing are the church-influenced spiritual heads and deep blues improvising heard on, say, Spiritual Unity or Vibrations. Instead, one is presented with some exceptionally free music that doesn't appear, on the surface anyway, to be based on any predetermined structures. Particularly of note is the Amiri Baraka (then-Leroi Jones) recitation, "Black Art." While not altogether different than "Sweet-Black Dada Nihilismus," a similar reading from the self-titled New York Art Quartet record, "Black Art" is a much more bleak and (at least potentially) upsetting piece. This session has since been reissued on both CD and LP by the Japanese label DIW. The LP reportedly included a bonus 7" record with more material. This is some very serious music by some very serious cats.

· CONDITION:
· RECORD
(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)
(a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VERY GOOD+(+) . CAUTION: The vinyl is NOT MINT or NEAR MINT, but is nevertheless in a very nice and clean condition. There are some surface marks and abrasions, mostly light and superficial, although some may be longer than 1.1/4 inches (1 inch = 2.5 centimeters)
(b) The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!
(c) Stereo pressings of this album are NOT known to exist
(d) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!
