Album Notes & Community Reviews
An ambitious and powerful large-ensemble album that finds vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson diving deep into the world of electric jazz fusion. The music is a dense and complex blend of funky grooves, avant-garde textures, and sophisticated arrangements. It's a key document of the adventurous and experimental spirit of the early 70s, a bold statement from one of the most forward-thinking musicians of his generation.
