Knowledge of Self

by Billy Harper

Knowledge of Self cover art

A powerful live album from the tenor saxophone titan, this session captures the intense, spiritual, and politically charged energy of Billy Harper's music. The album showcases his immense, Coltrane-influenced tenor sound and his gift for writing powerful, anthemic compositions. It's a key document of the late 70s post-bop scene, a testament to the enduring power of acoustic, spiritually-driven jazz.
