Untitled – Jack DeJohnette’s Directions – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Released in 1976 on ECM, ‘Untitled’ by Jack DeJohnette’s Directions is a striking testament to the restless spirit of 1970s jazz. Here, DeJohnette—already recognized as one of jazz’s most inventive drummers—assembles a quartet of creative equals: John Abercrombie, Alex Foster, and Mike Richmond. Together, they traverse landscapes of improvisation and structured exploration, blending electric textures with acoustic sensibilities. The result is an album that refuses to settle, with each track unfolding like a new chapter in a story with no predetermined end. Abercrombie’s guitar work—sometimes crystalline, sometimes jagged—dances atop DeJohnette’s dynamic percussion, while Foster and Richmond shape the sound’s contours with fearless abandon. ‘Untitled’ captures an era when jazz musicians were unafraid to tear down boundaries and rebuild them in their own image. For vinyl collectors and adventurous listeners alike, this album is a vital artifact—one that rewards repeated listens with fresh discoveries. It’s not just a document of its time; it’s a blueprint for future generations of risk-takers in jazz. If you crave music that challenges and inspires, ‘Untitled’ is a must-have for your collection.
