{"product_id":"cecil-mcbee-mutima","title":"Cecil McBee - Mutima","description":"\u003cp\u003eCecil McBee's Mutima is the kind of spiritual jazz record that feels less like a performance than a deep exhalation into another dimension. Originally released in 1975, this beautifully expansive session captures the bassist and composer balancing fire, reflection, and pure musical communion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecorded during a fertile period for avant-garde jazz, Mutima assembled an extraordinary cast including Chico Freeman, George Cables, Onaje Allan Gumbs and Allen Nelson. McBee's compositions float effortlessly between post-bop sophistication, modal exploration, and richly textured spiritual jazz, creating an album that is both grounded and searching.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracks like “From Within” and “Voice Of The Seventh Angel” unfold with hypnotic patience, allowing the ensemble’s interaction to breathe and flourish naturally. “Mutima” pulses with warmth and emotional gravity, while “Tulsa Black” carries a subtle rhythmic tension beneath its luminous brass arrangements. Throughout the album, McBee's bass anchors everything elegantly – never ostentatious, always deeply expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 180-gram reissue gives the album the spacious presentation it deserves, highlighting every shimmering cymbal hit, woody bass resonance, and meditative horn passage. For longtime jazz collectors and curious treasure hunters, Mutima remains a quietly transcendent gem – sophisticated, soulful and endlessly rewarding with every listen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinylestore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67910307905613,"sku":"708857741717","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/9131\/7325\/files\/4467325-3474829.jpg?v=1794005571","url":"https:\/\/vinylestore.shop\/products\/cecil-mcbee-mutima","provider":"Vinylestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
