A beautiful and deeply spiritual album from the alto saxophonist, 'Sweet Earth Flying' is a key document of the more pastoral and atmospheric side of the 1970s avant-garde. The music is lyrical, meditative, and infused with a sense of wonder and connection to nature. It's a masterpiece of texture and mood, showcasing a different, more gentle path for the spiritual jazz movement.
