Idris Muhammad – Kabsha

Description

This is a limited-numbered edition 180g ‘One Step Pressing’ transparent indigo/deep pink marbled vinyl LP reissue of the 1980 album Kabsha (with new liner notes) by American jazz drummer Idris Muhammad, featuring a star-studded cast including George Coleman, Pharoah Sanders, Ron Carter, and Hugh Lawson. Considered by many to be one of his finest sessions as a bandleader, the album features a stripped-back and direct performance of rhythm and melody. This album was recorded right after Muhammad’s work on Pharoah Sanders’s Journey to the One, and the two musicians would later reunite for several more releases on the Theresa label. The album’s last reissue was a limited UK-only LP run in 2020.
