Black Rhythm Revolution! is the first album by the jazz drummer Idris Muhammad. It was recorded for the Prestige label in 1970.
Reception
Stewart Mason of AllMusic wrote: "Black Rhythm Revolution is not a bad album at all; in fact, most of the tracks are good to great, with the lengthy bookends "By the Red Sea" and "Wander" both featuring memorable grooves and tight, compact solos. It's just considerably less intense than the title might lead one to believe."
