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

Doug Hammond Folks 1980

"...Released in 1980, Hammond's third album is described by jazz critic Francis Davis (Village Voice, Atlantic Monthly) in Downbeat Magazine as "something of an omnibus – there's a little bit of everything here, the best of it excellent." Expect bright original compositions filled with dancing rhythm duets, sonorous cello, modal vocalese & more. Recorded with bassist Cecil McBee, vocalists Angela Bofil and Bessie Carter, saxophonists Steve Coleman and Byard Lancaster and cellist Muneer Abdul Fataah, Hammond is an unassuming leader, acting as an imaginative drummer who allows the soloists to shine time and time again. Now considered a rare, classic spiritual jazz session of the era." Soundohm
