Jujus – Alchemy Of The Blues ... LP Folkways/Smithsonian, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Together To The Tune Of Coltrane's Equinox ... LP Folkways/Smithsonian, 1977. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock

Very righteous work from this obscure 70s poet – a contemporary to Nikki Giovanni, Camille Yarbrough, and others – but not nearly as widely recorded! The album features no instrumentation, just Sonia reading her poems – and the work itself is pretty progressive, very much in the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
