This is a 1977 album by Byard Lancaster, an American lead player who began his career in the mid-1960s and has played with Sun Ra, McCoy Tyner, Bill Dixon, and others, and since the late 1960s has left many masterpieces on his own recordings. Lancaster plays soprano, alto, electrified saxophone, wood flute, piano, and percussion. A1 has an ethnic jungle sound similar to that of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, A2 is an improvisational extension of a John Coltrane classic. A3, where Lancaster's piano and vocals show a lot of sympathy with Pharoah Sanders and Alice Coltrane, and B1, which develops on an oriental scale, are all superb masterpieces colored by Lancaster's sound world that shows various expressions based on his deep spirituality.
