"harry whittaker, roy ayers' secret weapon, delivers his soul opus
on this album. 'black renaissance' is undoubtedly one of my all
time favorite tunes, up there with sun ra's 'sleeping beauty' and
coltrane's 'a love supreme'."
gilles peterson, bbc radio 1, london 2002.
harry whitaker is a piano player, producer and arranger who on mlk
day 1976, at the age of 26, recorded black renaissance 'body,
mind, and spirit', a holy grail amongst collectors of soul-jazz
and rare groove. so rare, itÆs virtually a myth to many collectors
and music aficionados.
made up of two long tracks that periodically build and release for
forty minutes over two sides of an lp itÆs an improvised
masterpiece combining afrocentric spiritual soul, jazz, poetry,
amazing solos, a tasty bass line or two and more than a fair share
of funky beats. itÆs also one of the earliest albums to feature
rapping. recorded as a tribute on martin luther king day, 1976,
released in very limited quantity illegally in japan later that
year.
"i called the project black renaissance because that is what i
wanted to see happen, especially in music."
