Album Notes & Community Reviews
Panamanian-born saxophonist Carlos Garnett's debut for Muse Records is a soaring exploration of Afro-centric spiritual jazz and deep funk. Featuring notable contributions from Mtume, Norman Connors, and vocalists Ayodele Jenkins and Dee Dee Bridgewater, the album reflects a strong socio-political consciousness. Its fiery rhythms and expansive improvisations make it a cornerstone of 70s underground jazz.
