Turn This Mutha Out is a Jazz-Funk/Soul LP by drummer Idris Muhammad, originally released in the late 1970s and reissued multiple times, including the 2017/2021. The album is regarded as one of Muhammad's most iconic and groove-driven works, showcasing his signature blend of deep funk rhythms, soulful arrangements, and spiritual jazz overtones.
Originally released on the Theresa label in 1980, Kabsha is widely considered to be one of Idris Muhammad's finest sessions as a bandleader. Recorded immediately following his work on Pharoah Sanders' Journey to the One, this album finds the "uber drummer" leading a powerhouse ensemble through a stripped-back and direct performance of pure rhythm and melody. Featuring tenor titans Pharoah Sanders and George Coleman, the session balances hard-swinging bop with profound spiritual depth. Kabsha captures a vital chapter of Muhammad's career and his enduring musical partnership with Sanders, showcasing the rhythmic brilliance that established him as a cornerstone of the 1980s spiritual and post-bop scene. Kabsha will be released on 180g One-step Pressing Transparent Indigo/Deep Pink Marble Vinyl LP for Record Store Day 2026 on 18th, April 2026, limited to just 1,700 copies worldwide.
