Sarah Davachi’s minimalism weaves classical instruments like organ and harpsichord with analog synthesizers, using long, delicate sustained tones to dissolve the line between traditional and non-traditional sound.

A 1980 gem from New Orleans funk drummer Idris Muhammad, released on California’s small Theresa Records label with an all-star cast — Pharoah Sanders, George Coleman and Ray Drummond — engineered by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder. From the bass-riff-driven title track to the free-jazz interplay of Sanders and Coleman on “GCCG Blues,” it balances raw power with finesse.
