Abdullah Sami’s Peace of Time, a spiritual jazz artifact from 1978, is the kind of album that makes collectors weak at the knees and bank accounts tremble. Recorded in New York in August 1977 and self-released in a meager run of 300 hand-crafted copies, it’s no wonder this record has achieved “holy grail” status among jazz enthusiasts, with original pressings fetching upwards of $2,000 online. Spiritmuse Records’ 2019 reissue mercifully brought this obscurity back to life, complete with remastered sound and liner notes that unpack its legend. But is Peace of Time truly the transcendent masterpiece its cult status suggests, or is it just another overhyped relic from the vinyl-digging frenzy of the 2010s? Let’s dive into this hypnotic, groove-laden journey, explore the musicians behind it, and dissect each track with the precision of a crate-digger combing through a dusty record store.

Emerald Tears is a solo album by bassist Dave Holland, recorded in August 1977 and released on ECM the following year. It is an album of bass solos. Reception The AllMusic review by Joslyn Layne stated: "Emerald Tears is a very nice showcase of Dave Holland, and is almost certain to be enjoyed by fans of the upright bass." Larry Birnbaum gave the album 3.5 stars in his DownBeat review. He wrote, "Holland's rich, varnished tone and throbbing percussive sensitivity are compounded with keen intelligence and a brooding streak of romantic melancholy". However, he found, "Alone in the glare of the spotlight, Holland somehow manages to remain in shadow and one is neverquite free of the sensation that this is a Music Minus One album turned inside out".
