Solomon's Daughter

Franklin Kiermyer's seminal album, Solomon's Daughter, is a masterpiece of free jazz that has been reissued to coincide with its 25th anniversary. Originally released in 1994 to widespread critical acclaim, this re-mastered edition brings new life to the nine tracks that showcase Kiermyer's innovative drumming and the saxophonistic genius of Pharoah Sanders.

Joined by a talented ensemble, including Jovan Alexandre on tenor saxophone and Davis Whitfield on piano, Kiermyer's quartet weaves a complex and deeply spiritual sound that is both deeply rooted in jazz tradition and boldly experimental. From the opening notes of 'If I Die Before I Wake' to the closing strains of 'I Pray My Soul To Take', Solomon's Daughter is an album that demands attention and rewards repeated listening.

With its blend of intense improvisation and thoughtful composition, Solomon's Daughter is a testament to the enduring power of free jazz to inspire and challenge. Produced by Kiermyer and mixed by Lou Holtzman, the album's sound is both intimate and expansive, capturing the dynamic interplay between the musicians as they push the boundaries of their art.

Released on Dot Time Records, Solomon's Daughter is a must-have for fans of Franklin Kiermyer, Pharoah Sanders, and anyone who loves the thrill of jazz at its most adventurous and uncompromising.
