More Info
Originally released in 1978 on Muse Records, Double Exposure is a rare and genre-blurring session that brings together two visionary musicians in a highly personal, exploratory setting. Drummer-composer Joe Chambers—best known for his work with Wayne Shorter, Bobby Hutcherson, and Freddie Hubbard—is joined by Larry Young, a pioneering jazz organist whose modal and avant-garde leanings helped define Tony Williams’ Lifetime and Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew era.
Double Exposure isn’t a conventional organ-and-drums record—it’s a deeply textural and often introspective album where post-bop, spiritual jazz, and early fusion sensibilities converge. Tracks like “Mind Rain” (later sampled by Nas for "N.Y. State of Mind") showcase Chambers’ emotional range as a composer. Larry Young’s organ and synthesizer work is atmospheric and searching, veering far from soul-jazz clichés into modal abstraction and cosmic drift.
Remastered directly from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab.
The CD is packaged in a 4-panel digipak with 8-page booklet with newly written liner notes by Bill Milkowski and Barney Fields with rare photographs by Jan Persson and Raymond Ross.
