RELEASE DATE

LP version. Gatefold sleeve. Wewantsounds present a reissue of
Buddy Terry
's
Awareness
, originally released in 1971. Following the highly-acclaimed release of
Feeling Good
(WWSCD 005CD/WWSLP 005LP, 2017) and
Inner Peace
(WWSCD 007CD/ WWSLP 007LP, 2017) compilations, Wewantsounds present the reissue of two superb classic albums as the first releases in their Mainstream Records Original Classics series:
Awareness
, presented here, and
Harold Land
's 1971 album
A New Shade Of Blue
(WWSCD 008CD/WWSLP 008LP).
Awareness
was Buddy Terry's first album for Mainstream Records, one of the three he recorded for
Bob Shad
's label. This is pure, undiluted spiritual jazz that is both deep and funky. Prior to the release of
Awareness
, Terry had recorded a couple of soul jazz albums for Prestige Record,
Electric Soul
in 1967 and
Natural Soul
in 1968. Terry then went under-the-radar until the recording of
Awareness
, an undisputed buried treasure. 1971 saw him picked up by the ever active Bob Shad who had just decided to produce a new crop of young jazzmen in tune with the sonic revolution of the time, think
John Coltrane
's Eastern influences and
Miles Davis
's experiments that took from the music
Jimi Hendrix
and
Sly Stone
.
Awareness
is a pure result of this incredible blend of influences, which saw labels like Black Jazz or Strata East transform jazz into a hip and cool genre adorned by the Woodstock generation. Featuring a glittering line-up composed of Strata East co-founder
Stanley Cowell
on piano and Rhodes,
Cecil Bridgewater
on trumpet,
Buster Williams
and
Victor Gaskin
on bass,
Roland Prince
on guitar,
Mickey Roker
on drums, and a young
Mtume
on percussion. Together they play a superb mix of deep and funky jazz in the best tradition of the genre. Both hypnotic ("Kamili") and funky (check Cowell's signature tune "Abscretions"),
Awareness
is a pure delight graced by Shad's tight production values. It will ravish all lovers of early '70s spiritual jazz. Buddy Terry recorded another two great albums for Mainstream Records and played on
Art Blakey
's superb
Child's Dance
(1972), gracing the record with his wonderful soprano sax playing.
Awareness
proves that Buddy Terry is a great player worth (re)discovering. Includes never-before-seen session photos by
Raymond Ross
and new liner notes by French journalist
Jacques Denis
(Liberation, Superfly).
