This is an album released in 1975 by American flutist and cornet player Marc Levin, who has also been active in groups with Bill Dixon and Abbey Rader. The recording features Finnish jazz musicians such as Seppo Paakkunainen, Teppo Auta-Aho, and Reino Laine and took place in Finland. The album includes experimental jazz compositions based on Marc Levin's own scores, including the mysterious modal jazz track A3, featuring female singer Carita Holmstrom. One of the standout tracks is the ethnic jazz piece B1, where various percussion instruments blend with earthy flute and violin sounds, creating a spiritual and organic atmosphere. This piece resonates with the worldviews found in the works of Don Cherry's Old and New Dreams and the ethnic-influenced pieces of the Art Ensemble of Chicago.
