Woody Shaw - SONG OF SONGS (Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series Remaster) LP

2026 Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series Remaster

A landmark of spiritual and avant garde jazz, The Awakening captures pianist Ahmad Jamal at his most exploratory and expansive. Originally recorded in 1970, the album unfolds through four long form compositions, giving Jamal and his ensemble room to build tension, atmosphere, and intricate interplay across each side.

From the nearly twelve minute “Song Of Songs” to the meditative “Love: For The One You Can't Have,” the record moves between powerful rhythmic passages and more spacious, introspective sections. “The Goat And The Archer” and “The Awakening” round out a deeply immersive session that rewards close listening.
