{"product_id":"stanley-cowell-musa-ancestral-streams-cd","title":"Stanley Cowell – Musa: Ancestral Streams Music CD","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"relix-editorial\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStanley Cowell spent decades as one of jazz's most searching pianists, working alongside Marion Brown, Woody Shaw, and Max Roach before channeling that vast experience into this deeply interior 1974 session. Strata-East itself was a radical act, a collectively run label built on Black artistic self-determination, and Cowell's solo work here embodies exactly that spirit. This Mack Avenue reissue brings a long-elusive recording back into reach for listeners who've been hunting it down for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing stunning solo piano work by Strata-East co-founder Stanley Cowell, Musa: Ancestral Streams is a landmark album in jazz, celebrated for its intimacy and innovation. Recorded in 1974, it stands as one of the most significant solo piano albums of its time, blending jazz with classical, African, and Eastern influences. Cowell’s pioneering use of both electric and acoustic piano expands the expressive range of the instrument, creating a deeply personal and spiritual experience. Musa: Ancestral Streams is a cornerstone of the Strata-East discography, reflecting the label’s commitment to artistic freedom and genre-defining works. It not only highlights Cowell’s extraordinary vision as a musician but also exemplifies Strata-East’s role in championing boundary-pushing, artist-produced records. For the first time ever, this pioneering solo work from the famed pianist will be available on CD and digital platforms, as well as on 180-gram vinyl. The digital release features an alternate take on the classic “Travelin’ Man” as well as 3 additional never-before-released bonus tracks. Pressed at Record Technology Inc. (RTI) and mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio, the vinyl edition comes in high-quality, glossy tip-on gatefold jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Abscretions (5:10)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Equipoise (3:44)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e3. Prayer For Peace (7:07)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e4. Emil Danenberg (From \"Illusion Suite\") (2:45)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e5. Maimoun (From \"Illusion Suite\") (6:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e6. Travelin' Man (2:56)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e7. Departure No. 1 (5:25)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e8. Departure No. 2 (2:15)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e9. Sweet Song (3:05)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 673203500327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mack Avenue Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.25.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43053223215179,"sku":"514476","price":34.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/packshot-stanley-cowell-musa-ancestral-streams-cd-relix.jpg?v=1787173476","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/stanley-cowell-musa-ancestral-streams-cd","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
