Originally released in 1976 on Muse Records, Love Dance stands as one of Woody Shaw's most spiritual and forward-thinking 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. Remastered & cut AAA directly from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal Media and housed in Stoughton Old Style Tip-On Jackets.
