Joe McPhee - Nation Time album cover with Japanese Obi strip.
“Nation Time was recorded in concert in 1970 at the height of the American rights movement and was inspired [by] and a tribute to Amiri Baraka. Today I think of it more from a human rights perspective, encompassing more than race.”

Joe McPhee - Sound on Sound album cover. A copy of the Teac Reel label with handwritten titles.
'McPhee’s experiments with multi-track recording, microphone feedback and Echoplex take his music into extraordinary electro-acoustic realms informed by Stockhausen, Sun Ra, Lukas Foss and Harry Partch'
Cosmic Love from Sound On Sound - The Strange World Of #JoeMcPhee

Two characters from Severance dancing, in the 'defiant jazz' scene.
'Mike Kull’s nagging electric piano and Dave Jones’ clipped guitar bring James Brown’s funk into a free jazz context. Harnessing the liberatory power of dance and free jazz, this is “#defiantjazz” in excelsis.'
Shakey Jake, from Nation Time 1971 - The Strange World Of… #JoeMcPhee

Joe McPhee Nation Time album cover. The artist dressed all in black, holding his sax.
Unquenchable Fire by Deep Listening Band / Joe McPhee Quartet album cover. Illustration of a person with their right hand held palm outwards, with tree-like branches growing out of their head.
After providing #Severance with the soundtrack to its "defiant jazz" scene, the endlessly explorative work of legendary multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee is enjoying a moment of rare mainstream crossover...
