Rare and exquisite

"this was my favorite recording back in the early eighties. i loved it. then i eventually moved on to mainstream jazz, kind of tossing it aside as the years went by.now i'm listening to it again and i'm re-amazed by it. the 'all-music guide' rating this insignificant and below his other recordings is way off track. i have most of his recordings and this is by far his best.this is a special recording. i have the lp version. very high audio quality. the first side (the first two songs) is the real substance of the recording. the music causes you to sit and listen. relaxing, startling, and interesting. this is just some of the best music regardless of genre."

My Favorite Album

"This work was recorded in June of 1971, and I've owned the album since 1972. 32 years later it remains my favorite. Rare art created by master composers, performed & interpreted by master musicians, and produced & recorded by geniuses in 3 days. It humbles me to this day."
