Description
180g audiophile vinyl reissue housed in a gatefold sleeve, remastering by Ray Staff at Air Mastering, Lyndhurst Hall, London.
"Musa Ancestral Streams remains a relative oddity in the pantheon of jazz's black consciousness movement - a solo piano set of stunning reach and scope, its adherence to intimacy contrasts sharply with the bold, multi-dimensional sensibilities that signify the vast majority of post-Coltrane excursions into spiritual expression, yet the sheer soulfulness and abandon of Stanley Cowell's performance nevertheless vaults the record into the same physical and metaphysical planes. Cowell's energy and touch are remarkable, as if guided by divine power, and for all the music's structural spaciousness and rhythmic freedom, not a note feels out of place, let alone excessive.
Most intriguing is "Travelin' Man," an overdubbed "duet" featuring Cowell on both acoustic and electric piano that underscores his uncommon affinity for space and presence." - Jason Ankeny, AllMusic
"These songs show how astutely Cowell uses blues, classical and folk balladry to create music that was both personal and universal. If ever there was a balm for the world then it is right here, testimony of the greatness of an artist whose work should be reassessed, and more to the point, continue to live far beyond his untimely demise." - Kevin Le Gendre, Jazzwise -
