Favorite Album

Muhal Richard Abrams – 1-OQA+19

“I discovered Muhal Richard Abrams’s album „1- Oqa+19“ in my early twenties and instantly fell in love with it. I remember being puzzled by that at the time because I had never heard anything like it before. I had no frame of reference for what it was, and no one around me did either. I just loved everything about it, from the beautiful Black faces on the cover to the weird title.“
