4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

A mindblowing mix of jazz and Middle Eastern influences - and a rare ‘60s treasure from Thelonious Monk's former bassist! Ahmed Abdul-Malik blends together percussion, bass, and oud with some soulful solo work from Seldon Powell on tenor and flute, and Ray Nance on cornet - stretching out over long tracks with an exotic vibe. The complete, original 1965 release on the Status label, with new liner notes by Scott Yanow!
