Spherical is a power trio: guitarist John King wanted this album to be rock, funk, blues, noise, and experimental, and so by instinct, Cindy Blackman and Bernie Worrell were the perfect musicians for accomplishing this. They found an abundance of trust, within an eight hour improvised recording session in 1994 at Baby Monster Studios in New York. The project had been missing for 29 years until John King found it in a box of unlabeled CDs, cassette tapes, and DAT tapes. During a time of cleansing, the lost was now found. Perhaps Spherical’s whereabouts were unknown because sometimes life has its own timelines, which can be distracting. Is it possible that music does, too? Conceivably, the music was ahead of its time and wanted to be known when it was this time. And maybe, this time is the right time to be known.
