This album, released in 1968 by American jazz pianist Muhal Richard Abrams, who was one of the founders of The Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM). Under the direction of Robert G. Koester, AACM-affiliated artists such as Anthony Braxton, Charles Clark, Leonard Jones, Thurman Barker, Maurice McIntyre, Gordon Emmanuel, Leroy Jenkins, Penelope Taylor, and David Moore came together for a grand spiritual jazz session with the theme of "Three Degrees and Seven Suns for Eternity." The highlight of the album is the epic track B1, lasting over 22 minutes, featuring David Moore's poetry reading and an incredible ethnic soundscape that seamlessly integrates with nature. Highly recommended. This is a Japanese pressing released in 1972.
