Sadaka: Premonition Vinyl LP

Spiritiual jazz grail repressed! Leave it to the good folks at Jazzman to dig up this highly sought-after gem and give it the proper reissue it deserves. Sadaka’s Premonition is a modern masterpiece of spiritual jazz, originally released in 1981 on the tinyCreatic label. The pieces are all composed and arranged by musicalgeniusUmlah Sadau Holt, a Bay Area player involved in many different projects ranging from jazz, reggae, and world music. Premonitionis his first and only recordingreleased on his own private label, which, despite great response from jazz aficionados, suffered from very poor sales. Thishas made original copies scarce (and expensive!), which makes this Jazzman repress all the more welcome.Seven tracks withtop quality pic sleeve reproduction. Another stunning entry inJazzman’s Holy Grail series.
