Description
180g audiophile vinyl reissue. Another great album from the Strata- East label, "Capra Black" remains one of the seminal recordings of jazz's black consciousness movement.
A profoundly spiritual effort that channels both the intellectual complexity of the avant-garde as well as the emotional potency of gospel, its focus and assurance belie Billy Harper's inexperience as a leader. Backed by an all-star supporting unit including trombonist Julian Priester and drummer Billy Cobham, Harper's tenor summons the brute force and mystical resolve of John Coltrane but transcends its influences to communicate thoughts and feelings both idiosyncratic and universal.
This is music of remarkable corporeal substance that somehow expresses the pure language of the soul.
Press:
"Strata-East devotees have long coveted the title track, but this writer is especially fond of, 'Sir Galahad', and those two extended numbers grace the majority of side one. A medley balances out matters on side two with the reposing, 'Soulfully, I Love You / Black Spiritual Of Love', before the impassioned, 'Cry Of Hunger!', rounds off the album in fine fashion and is another highlight." - **** UK Vibe
