"... something of a funk-gospel classic ..." - Los Angeles Times Following stints playing with Weather Report, McCoy Tyner and Wayne Shorter, drummer Alphonse Mouzon released this acclaimed debut album as leader in 1973. Long out of print, The Essence Of Mystery includes nine original songs performed by Mouzon and his band, consisting of Buddy Terry and Sonny Fortune on saxophones, Larry Willis on piano and bassists Buster Williams and Wilbur Bascomb Jr.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
