Label: Time Traveler
Release Date: 23rd January

Another incredible reissue from Time Traveler who with their Muse Records archival series are fast becoming one of my favourite labels.
The most forward-thinking and spiritual release from travelled trumpeter Woody Shaw, each song is rich in sonic depth, Woody's soulful playing carries a percussion heavy funk, modal tones and post bop intensity. Can't wait to hear this in it's full glory. 

Originally released in 1976 on Muse Records, ‘Love Dance’ stands as one of Woody Shaw’s most spiritual and forward-thinking sessions. This audiophile reissue restores the album’s full tonal richness, capturing Shaw’s soaring trumpet lines and the ensemble’s dynamic interplay with unprecedented clarity. Shaw leads a powerhouse lineup—including Billy Harper, Steve Turre, René McLean, Cecil McBee and Joe Bonner—through five expansive tracks blending modal jazz, spiritual themes, and post-bop intensity. A landmark in Shaw’s discography, ‘Love Dance’ is essential listening—now presented with the depth and detail it has always deserved.
