A spiritual jazz landmark from Chicago's AACM scene. The Awakening's second and final album, released in 1973, showcases the group's deep groove and inventive arrangements across s even distinct tracks. From the electric piano-driven opener "Mode For DD" to the hypnotic ten-minute journey of "The Ultimate Frontier," each piece explores a different sonic territory. The Spanish-tinged title track and funky closer "March On" round out an album where every instrument shines. Essential listening for fans of Chicago's jazz underground. Show more
