George Adams released this album in 1979 on ECM, featuring a sextet lineup including Heinz Sauner (ts), Kenny Wheeler (tp, fh), Richard Beirach (p), Dave Holland (b), and Jack Dejohnette (d). The album, which is highlighted in the guidebook 'obscure sound' includes many notable tracks. With Kenny Wheeler's soaring trumpet and Jack Dejohnette's groove-filled drumming, it delivers fantastic spiritual jazz on A1. The album also features George Adams' wild vocals on blues jazz track B2. While it draws inspiration from John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, it possesses the ECM signature, offering a scaled and soulful performance. It's truly outstanding.

A1: Baba
