Tribute To Sonny Sharrock

digital · XJM 26013

The quartet of Berlin-based drummer Laurids Richter dedicates its album “Tribute To Sonny Sharrock” to the remarkable work of guitarist Sonny Sharrock. The recordings, made some time ago across two sessions, capture an early moment of the ensemble. Without attempting to replicate Sharrock’s singular voice, the band approaches his music from its own vantage point. They allow themselves to be carried along the paths opened by the unique compositions of an artist whose voice preserves something that remains elusive. Together with Werner Neumann (guitar), Florian Kästner (keys), and Tim Kleinsorge (bass), the ensemble delivers a powerful interpretation of the material. The four musicians move with focus and intent, unfolding a vibrant musical force.
