Jack DeJohnette "Sorcery", Prestige, 1974

This is Jack DeJohnette "Sorcery", released by Prestige in 1974. This was his first release out of Prestige, after releasing several solo albums from Milestone and Columbia. The album is experimental, Jazz-rock album, and heading to all directions. Somehow he plays keyboard and sax, besides drums. This is before he started recording regularly with ECM in late 70s, and has what to become the signature electric guitar sounds for the label. All tracks focus more on rhythmic parts, rather than melody or solo.

Personnel:
Jack DeJohnette - Drums, Keyboard, C-melody sax
Bennie Maupin - Bass Clarinet
Dave Holland - Bass
John Abercrombie, Mick Goodrick - Guitars
Michael Fellerman - Metaphone
