Title: Untitled [Columbia University 1973]
Label: Dogtown Records
Format: Vinyl LP / CD
Genre: Soul / Jazz / Spiritual / Black Liberation Music

FIRST EVER RELEASE OF LONG-LOST 1973 SESSION BY PHILLY (GERMANTOWN / MT. AIRY) JAZZ GROUP AND ACTIVIST COLLECTIVE.

Sounds Of Liberation was a band – and a social movement – formed in of the Germantown & Mt Airy neighborhoods of Philadelphia in 1970. The group consisted of seven members: Khan Jamal (vibraphone), Byard Lancaster (alto saxophone), Billy Mills (bass), Dwight James (drums), Monnette Sudler (guitar), Omar Hill (percussion), William Brister (percussionist, aka Rashid Salim).

Originally conceived and formed by Khan Jamal, the arrival of Byard Lancaster in 1971 helped shift their focus and efforts into a higher gear. Jamal and Lancaster would work together in different configurations throughout the decade.

Sounds of Liberation were at the forefront of avant-garde Black expression in the early 1970s, putting action behind their creative endeavors. They were as much of a community force as a band, and because of that there was a strong desire by the entire group to work with a range of different populations, from school children to inmates. 

The group issued one self-released album, ‘New Horizons’ – alternately titled The Sounds Of Liberation’ in later pressings – in 1972, on their Dogtown label [It was reissued by Porter Records in 2010 to a great deal of fanfare amongst jazz fans].

This five-song session of original music (with compositions penned by Jamal, Lancaster and Sudler) has never been released and has been prepared for this important and long-overdue LP package by group members, in collaboration with Peter “Max” Ochester of Philly’s Brewerytown Beats Records.
The LP package being offered for national and international distribution will include a b/w cover by original group artist Leroy Butler.

A more deluxe – limited-edition, only 300 copies – LP will include a paste-on cover, double-sided insert (with artwork, photos, flyers, some never seen before), and will be available exclusively at Brewerytown Beats Records in Philadelphia or www.dogtownrecords.com
