Mutima Vinyl
Only 20 left in stock.
Cecil McBee’s Mutima is the kind of spiritual jazz record that feels less like a performance and more like a deep exhale into another dimension. Originally released in 1975, this beautifully expansive session captures the bassist and composer balancing fire, reflection, and pure musical communion.
Recorded during a fertile era for boundary-pushing jazz, Mutima brought together an extraordinary cast including Chico Freeman, George Cables, Onaje Allan Gumbs, and Allen Nelson. McBee’s compositions drift effortlessly between post-bop sophistication, modal exploration, and richly textured spiritual jazz, creating an album that feels both grounded and searching at the same time.
Tracks like “From Within” and “Voice Of The Seventh Angel” unfold with hypnotic patience, allowing the ensemble’s interplay to breathe and bloom naturally. “Mutima” pulses with warmth and emotional gravity, while “Tulsa Black” carries a subtle rhythmic tension beneath its luminous horn arrangements. Throughout the album, McBee’s bass anchors everything with elegance - never flashy, always deeply expressive.
This 180-gram reissue gives the album the spacious presentation it deserves, highlighting every shimmering cymbal hit, woody bass resonance, and meditative horn passage. For longtime jazz collectors and curious crate-diggers alike, Mutima remains a quietly transcendent gem - sophisticated, soulful, and endlessly rewarding with every spin.
