black woman (180 gram vinyl)
sonny sharrock
4 men with beards
picked by wire magazine as one of the 100 records which set the world on fire, 1970s-era miles davis guitarist sonny shamrock's lp was released in 1969 & produced by herbie mann, who loved sharrock's uncompromising blasts of atonal guitar with mann's own band. recorded with n.y. free jazz musicians dave burrell, norris jones, ted daniel & milford graves, the lp features sonny's with linda on yoko ono-style vocals. there's plenty of soul & gospel influences & a slight pop element counterpoint to sonny's aggressive guitar & linda's wails. originally released on atlantic records. |
