Originally released in 1976 on Muse Records, ‘Love Dance’ stands as one of Woody Shaw’s most spiritual and forward-thinking sessions. This audiophile reissue restores the album’s full tonal richness, capturing Shaw’s soaring trumpet lines and the ensemble’s dynamic interplay with unprecedented clarity. Shaw leads a powerhouse lineup – including Billy Harper, Steve Turre, Ren McLean, Cecil McBee and Joe Bonner – through five expansive tracks blending modal jazz, spiritual themes, and post-bop intensity. A landmark in Shaw’s discography, ‘Love Dance’ is essential listening – now presented with the depth and detail it has always deserved. Remastered & Cut AAA directly from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. Pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal Media and housed in Stoughton Old Style Tip-On Jackets. Including an insert with newly written liner notes by Bob Blumenthal and Barney Fields with rare photograph by K. Abe.
