Double Exposure

Originally released on Muse Records in 1978, Double Exposure is a sought-after session that pairs drummer-composer Joe Chambers with organist Larry Young in a deeply exploratory, genre-crossing setting. Chambers—renowned for his work with Wayne Shorter, Bobby Hutcherson, and Freddie Hubbard—steps into a more spacious, compositional role here, shaping the record’s shifting rhythmic contours and open-ended structures.

Young, a pioneering voice whose modal and avant-garde approach helped define Tony Williams’ Lifetime and Miles Davis’s Bitches Brew period, responds with fluid, searching lines that push the material into more adventurous territory. Their interplay gives Double Exposure its distinctive edge: a conversation between two boundary-moving musicians at full stretch.
