Jack Dejohnette - Sorcery Jack Dejohnette

Released: 11/08/2023

Sorcery finds DeJohnette teamed up with a tight crew of virtuosic bandmates, including veterans of Miles Davis's¯Bitches Brew¯sessions (bassist Dave Holland) and Herbie Hancock's Headhunters band (Bennie Maupin). Discursive, meditative, trippy but grounded in tasty grooves (the deep digger drum break Epilog) and laced with flurries of Hendrix-on-jazz-steroids guitar from 6-string heroes John Abercrombie and Mick Goodrick plus the ahead-of-its-time electronic processing of DeJohnette, this band would never be mistakenly filed under Smooth Jazz.¯This 180-gram Jazz Dispensary reissue of Sorcery was cut from the original analogue tapes by Kevin Gray and pressed at RTI, and comes packaged in a tip-on jacket.
