Joe McPhee's "Nation Time" bursts forth from the underground of Poughkeepsie in 1970, merging fierce energy with a revolutionary spirit. The title track is a lengthy exploration, while "Shakey Jake" delivers funk rhythms alongside McPhee's incisive tenor sax. This vinyl revival not only shines a light on a nearly lost piece of jazz history but also underscores how McPhee's daring guitars and drums refuse to play it safe, pushing boundaries even decades later.
