Khan Jamal – Infinity
Infinity by Khan Jamal is a long-lost spiritual soul jazz masterpiece, originally self-released in 1984 and now finally available again via Jazz Room Records. Revered by collectors and commanding huge prices on the secondary market, this essential reissue brings a true underground classic back into circulation.
Led by vibraphone maestro Khan Jamal, the album features a stellar ensemble including alto saxophonist Byard Lancaster, harmonica player Clifton Burton, and legendary free jazz drummer Sunny Murray. The result is a deeply immersive session that blends soul jazz grooves, spiritual improvisation, and rich percussive textures into a sound that sits comfortably alongside the great Blue Note, Impulse!, and Prestige recordings of the era.
From the hypnotic flow of The Known Unknown to the expansive, meditative title track Infinity, this is an album that rewards deep listening, balancing warmth, rhythm, and exploratory musicianship. A vital record for fans of spiritual jazz, rare groove, and acid jazz, and an essential addition to any serious jazz collection.
