about

Marge 09

[EN] The Awakening is an album led by saxophonist Billy Harper recorded in 1979 in Paris and released on the French Marge label (Futura Marge). In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek states "This 1979 date by tenor saxophonist Billy Harper is one of his most transcendent. Rife with his deep study of Coltrane's modalism, and his own deep knowledge of the blues and Eastern music, Harper and his quintet take on three extended pieces... This is a winner, top to bottom, and one of the more engaging vanguard jazz outings of the late '70s to come from American soil".

[FR] The Awakening est un album dirigé par le saxophoniste Billy Harper enregistré en 1979 à Paris et publié sur le label français Marge (Futura Marge). Dans sa critique pour AllMusic, Thom Jurek déclare : "Cette session de 1979 du saxophoniste ténor Billy Harper est l'une de ses plus transcendantales. Regorgeant de sa profonde étude du modalisme de Coltrane, ainsi que de sa propre connaissance approfondie du blues et de la musique orientale, Harper et son quintet se lancent dans trois pièces étendues... C'est un chef-d'œuvre, du début à la fin, et l'une des expériences les plus captivantes du jazz avant-gardiste de la fin des années 70 à émerger du sol américain."

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
