Hugely overlooked Strata-East release from trombonist Dick Griffin features the likes of Sam Rivers and Cecil McBee playing some stunning post-bop (a rarity for Rivers after the late sixties) that ventures effectively into freer territory at its convenience. The compositions, arrangements and musicianship here are all at the highest level and free of the manufactured banality 'spiritual' seventies post-bop sometimes fell victim to.
Performers: Dick Griffin (tb), Sam Rivers (t/s-sx/fl), Warren Smith (vb/pc), Ron Burton (pi), Cecil McBee (bs), Freddie Waits (dr), Leopoldo Fleming (cg/bells/pc)
