★2020 latest remaster edition★ Both CD and LP are imported and available for domestic distribution

Powerful and moody. Rudolph Johnson, who plays tenor sax with a wonderful sense of balance, released his second and final album as a leader in 1973! This is a masterpiece that sounds from the soul, boasting the greatest sound pressure and intensity in the "Black Jazz" catalog!

Rudolph Johnson, a tenor sax player from Columbus, Ohio, whose label Black Jazz Records is proud of, released his second album, The Second Coming, in 1973. It is considered one of the best albums in the black jazz catalog. The memorable tenor sax phrases, which seem to spring from a spring, are well-balanced with the powerful and moody piano of Kirk Lightsey, a familiar name among black jazz fans. The playing on the title track, "The Second Coming," which closes the album, is particularly wild, as if Rudolph Johnson's musical career could end here. It is spectacular, insane, and above all beautiful.
