The artwork on this record inspired the cover design for Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders & London Symphony Orchestra - Promises -
Edited 10 years agoThis album was groundbreaking in the history of jazz, featuring the longest session of pure and free improvisation. Honestly, I can't say I still love the album or listen to it regularly, but there were times when I deeply enjoyed it's groove, inventiveness and richness. It's also featuring both great bass players Coleman's played with - Charlie Haden and Scott LaFaro - and both drummers - Billy Higgins and Ed Blackwell. CD versions also feature an alternate take. Avoid the vinyl reissue, by the way! It sounds quite thin and empty.
