Product description

Dive into the avant-garde jazz scene of the early 1970s with Dewey Redman's "The Ear of the Behearer," a seminal work recorded in the heart of New York City in June 1973. This album, originally released on the Impulse! label and later reissued by Verve Reissues, is a testament to Redman's prowess as a saxophonist and his significant contributions to the free jazz genre.

"The Ear of the Behearer" spans a diverse range of styles, from adventurous and free-form compositions to more structured pieces like the bluesy "Boody" and quieter ballads. The album's eleven tracks, including standouts like "Innerconnection," "Imani," and "Seeds And Deeds," showcase Redman's versatility and innovative spirit. Each song is a unique exploration of sound and rhythm, reflecting the artist's deep musical intuition and technical skill.

Recorded at Generation Sound, this album benefits from top-notch engineering, ensuring that every nuance of Redman's performance is captured with clarity and depth. The stereo mixing adds an immersive quality, making it a rich listening experience for jazz enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

With a total duration of one hour and four minutes, "The Ear of the Behearer" is a comprehensive journey through Redman's musical vision. It stands as one of the few albums he led during his peak years, making it a crucial piece of his discography and a significant contribution to the avant-garde jazz canon. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or a curious explorer of new sounds, this album offers a rewarding and engaging experience.

This LP is housed in a gatefold.

This album is amazing, it's super engaging for me, I'd even say it's more Avant-garde than free, but that's just nitpicking. They're definitely building on a melody and venturing into post bop. I'm thrilled I discovered this, I knew it'd be fascinating! Side two is fantastic, I've played this record many times now and it always makes me nod along. What a cool record!

They're definitely building off a melody and venturing into post bop. I'm thrilled I stumbled upon this gem, I just knew it'd be fascinating! Side two is fantastic, I've played this record numerous times now and it always gets me grooving. What a cool record!

This album is fantastic, it's incredibly enjoyable to listen to. I'd even go as far as to say it's more Avant-garde than free jazz, but that's just splitting hairs. They're definitely building on a melody and venturing into post bop. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this, I just knew it would be captivating! Side two is amazing, I've played this record numerous times and it always gets me nodding along. What a cool record!
