by Sonny Sharrock

Ask the Ages cover art

Sonny Sharrock's final studio album, 'Ask the Ages', is a pivotal work of modern jazz, uniting the guitarist with saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and drummer Elvin Jones, both celebrated for their work with John Coltrane. Produced by Bill Laswell, the recording captures Sharrock’s original compositions with a contemporary clarity and punch that balances the session's free-blowing, modal post-bop explorations with the guitarist's signature blend of volcanic power and profound lyricism.
