Rudolph Johnson – The Traveler
Rudolph Johnson – Time And Space
Rudolph Johnson – The Highest Pleasure

1. The Traveler
2. Time And Space
3. The Highest Pleasure
4. The Water Bearer
5. The Second Coming

You may not know this album but it is one of DEEPEST of all Black Jazz releases - hard to describe but SPIRITUALLY and SONICALLY up there with John Coltrane's 1960s IMPULSE releases, certainly anything on BLUE NOTE. Like Horace Tapscott this music just flows - the cover gives an indication of its power!

Saxophonist Rudolph Johnson is practically unknown but this is some serious shit! One of the rarest and best-kept secrets of all the Black Jazz releases. Original copies are hundreds of pounds!

100% essential!!
