Album Album - Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

“Album Album” stands as a testament to Jack DeJohnette’s restless creativity and deep roots in the jazz tradition, yet it’s anything but traditional. Released in 1984, this session assembles a formidable Special Edition lineup: John Purcell, David Murray, Howard Johnson, Rufus Reid, and DeJohnette himself, each an innovator in their own right. The resulting interplay bristles with energy and curiosity, weaving together angular melodies, shifting time signatures, and surprising textural turns. Rather than a mere showcase of technical prowess, the ensemble’s synergy transforms each composition into an unfolding narrative—sometimes playful, sometimes contemplative, always fresh. The album deftly bridges the gap between post-bop and avant-garde, making it essential for listeners who crave jazz that rewards close attention and repeated spins. For vinyl collectors, “Album Album” captures a pivotal moment in the 1980s jazz scene, when boundaries were being joyfully dismantled and reimagined. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or new to DeJohnette’s expansive world, this record offers a glimpse into the innovative spirit that defines not just the artist, but the very evolution of jazz itself.
