This one dates back to 1975 and is a much cherished record. It was keyboardist Roland Haynes' only album but was played by a fantastic selection of jazz cats with Carl Burnett, and Henry 'The Skipper' Franklin, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, Hugh Masekela and many others all featuring. Riddled with dealing Fender Rhodes sounds from Haynes and plenty of wah-wah's pedal work, cascading electric pianos and notes of 70s-era Miles Davis, it is a fulsome jazz trip of the highest order. Sooth yet spiritual, challenging yet accessible, it's a golden record from a golden time so don't snooze on this super limited reissue.
