Description
Soul Jazz Records / Universal Sound are reissuing jazz composer Oliver Lake’s ‘NTU: The Point From Which Creation Begins’, his stunning rhythmical Afro-centric deep spiritual jazz debut album originally recorded in 1971. This classic spiritual deep jazz album has been digitally remastered and is available in bespoke original exact reproduction artwork on hardboard Japanese-style boxcase CD, very limited (1000 worldwide) heavyweight 180gm audiophile vinyl, and digital download.
This album features in Gilles Peterson / Soul Jazz Records’ own ‘Freedom, Rhythm And Sound’ large-format book of revolutionary jazz.
Saxophonist Oliver Lake’s unique career path includes working with Lou Reed, A Tribe Called Quest, Bjork, composing for the Brooklyn Philharmonic, and as a longtime member of the avant-garde jazz group World Saxophone Quartet. This genre-defying, wide-ranging and cross-pollinating creativity is a consequence of Lake’s musical roots in the radical Black Arts Movement of 1960s Afro-America.
