Album Notes & Community Reviews

A classic of the spiritual jazz movement, this album is a powerful and expansive session led by drummer Norman Connors. The music is a deep, modal workout featuring an all-star cast of musicians who were at the forefront of the genre. The album is a quintessential example of the spiritually-charged, Afro-centric, and intensely creative jazz of the early 1970s.
