Album Notes & Community Reviews

This massively successful concert recording features the pioneering jazz flutist leading a globally minded sextet through extended, highly rhythmic Afro-Cuban and Brazilian grooves. Anchored by a dual-bass attack and relentless percussion, the extended vamps of tracks like 'Comin' Home Baby' established a definitive blueprint for the accessible, groove-oriented soul jazz that would dominate the decade.
