Originally released in 1976 on Muse Records, Love Dance stands as one of Woody Shaw’s most spiritual and forwardthinking sessions. This audiophile reissue restores the album’s full tonal richness, capturing Shaw’s soaring trumpet lines and the ensemble’s dynamic interplay with unprecedented clarity. Shaw leads a powerhouse lineup—including Billy Harper, Steve Turre, René McLean, Cecil McBee and Joe Bonner—through five expansive tracks blending modal jazz, spiritual themes, and post-bop intensity. A landmark in Shaw’s discography, Love Dance is essential listening— now presented with the depth and detail it has always deserved. Re-released on vinyl in January 2026 and 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 Bob Blumenthal and Barney Fields with a rare photograph by K. Abe.
