Cecil McBee - Mutima (Deluxe Edition) - LP

Deluxe Edition 180g LP, Remastered by Kevin Gray, Gatefold Tip-On Jacket

Cecil McBee's debut album, Mutima, stands as a landmark of 1970s jazz, blending the introspective qualities of spiritual jazz with adventurous post-bop and avant-garde influences. Released in 1974 on the revered Strata-East label, it showcases McBee's virtuosic bass playing and his gift for emotionally and intellectually rich compositions. Backed by a stellar ensemble including Dee Dee Bridgewater, Onaje Allan Gumbs, and Dom Salvador, Mutima—meaning "unseen forces"—unfolds as a vivid musical journey.
