An extraordinary, previously unheard session by alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe originally recorded on July 6, 1976 in New York City, and performed in the expansive, unconfined environment of the loft jazz movement, delivering remarkable extended solos on alto saxophone. The minimalist ensemble comprises Juni Booth on bass, Steve Reid on drums, and Muhammad Abdullah on conga, devoid of piano or additional horns, allowing Blythe ample opportunity to showcase his improvisational skills. The initial track in the collection features a remarkable solo alto performance, and the quality enhances further with the introduction of additional musicians, particularly Booth, who employs a melodic approach to the bass, producing tones that occasionally resemble those of an unseen keyboardist.
