about

Passerine Records couldn’t be more honored to present Muriel’s first US release with this pressing.

Recorded and first published in 2010, now available for the first time on vinyl in a limited run of 300 records. “Birth of The Mystery” is a tipping point in Muriel Grossmann’s discography; an extraordinary display of compositional and performance prowess. Its release marks the beginning and roots of Muriel’s so-called spiritual jazz phase, especially in pieces such as “Patience” and “Welcome”.

“Birth Of The Mystery” is a suite-like album masterfully performed by her then working band; which was, at that time, at the peak of their creativity. Songs such as “Trust” and “Opening” create a bounty of moments to bear witness to the group’s elasticity, strength, and interaction. Despite being lesser known than her recent breakthrough albums like “Golden Rule” and “Union”, “Birth Of The Mystery” deserves a closer look and offers us a new lens into what we today recognize as ‘the sound of Muriel Grossmann’.
