Reflections In The Sea Of Nurnen by Doug Hammond & David Durrah, released on Tribe in 1975

Reflections In The Sea Of Nurnen is the masterpiece debut release from drummer, percussionist and vocalist Doug Hammond in collaboration with keyboardist David Durrah, who is known for his session work for Black Jazz and Tribe Records. Originally planned for issue on Strata-East, Hammond instead took the record to Phil Ranelin and Wendell Harrison’s Detroit-based Tribe Records. Hammond’s velvet smooth vocal shimmers on the soul-jazz number “Wake Up Brothers” and the poetry-laced “Moves,” while Durrah’s Fender Rhodes and Moog synthesizer add a cosmic, avant-garde flavor to record with the instrumental pieces “Reflections” and “Space I + II.”... - In Sheep's Clothing Hi Fi

Angelic Streams by David Durrah
released on Quadrophonic Sound in 1975

A rare 70s session from keyboardist David Durrah -- a player who's probably best known for his contribution to other folks' work on labels like Black Jazz or Tribe Records, but who sounds equally great here on his own as a leader! The group features heavy keyboards from Durrah, over some wonderfully complex rhythms -- all in just the sort of spiritual vibe you'd hope for, as David's Fender Rhodes and other keys stretch out beautifully over a set of long jams handled by a combo with Calvin Keys on guitar, Alex Foster on tenor and soprano sax, Don Pate on bass, and Buddy Williams on drums. The album's a gem through and through -- the kind of lost treasure we're amazingly pleased to have discovered after all these years -- and it definitely lives up to all the promise you'd expect from Durrah's other work! - Dusty Groove
