Sonny Sharrock / BLACK WOMAN

An extraordinary piece of energy music that goes way beyond jazz. A legendary album produced by Herbie Mann and originally released in 1969 on the Atco subsidiary Vortex. Sonny Sharrock (and his wife Linda) recorded these tracks with a cast of New York free jazz all-stars including pianist Dave Burrell, drummer Milford Graves, trumpeter Teddy Daniel, and bassist Norris Jones among the others. A radical album with uncompromising blasts of atonal electric guitar, free-form sonic explorations, eccentric country blues touches and Linda Sharrock’s Patty Waters/Yoko Ono-influenced vocals. Featuring the classic ‘Portrait Of Linda In Three Colors, All Black’.
