Power Of Soul is the third record as a bandleader by legendary jazz drummer Idris Muhammad, from 1974.
He embarked on his solo career in 1970 after years of work as a sideman for the absolute biggest names in jazz such as
George Benson, Lou Donaldson, Grant Green, Ahmad Jamal, Pharoah Sanders, and many, many others.
This record was produced by Creed Taylor, founder of CTI, and engineered by Rudy Van Gelder. The architect of the Blue Note
sound developed a deep relationship with Muhammad and played a big role in finetuning his sound. But,don't forget the rest
of the line-up; the record features arrangements and compositions by keyboard legend Bob James and smooth jazz founder
Grover Washington Jr., supplemented with performances by Randy Brecker, Joe Beck, and Ralph MacDonald.
All in all, you can see why Muhammad's works ended up as samples on so many hip-hop records.
Power Of Soul is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on white coloured vinyl.
