Description

Deluxe Edition 180g Vinyl LP!
Remastered from the Original Analog Tapes by Kevin Gray!
Pressed at RTI!

Cecil McBee's debut album, Mutima, stands as a landmark achievement in 1970s jazz, blending the deeply introspective qualities of spiritual jazz with adventurous post-bop and avant-garde influences. Released in 1974 on the revered Strata-East label, the album highlights McBee's virtuosic skill on the bass alongside his remarkable gift for crafting compositions that resonate with emotional and intellectual depth. Backed by a stellar ensemble featuring luminaries such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Onaje Allan Gumbs, and Dom Salvador, Mutima — translated as "unseen forces" — unfolds as a vivid musical journey.
