Vinyl LP pressing. Reissue, originally released in 1963. Besides playing with the likes of Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, and Randy Weston, bassist and oud player Abdul Malik is mostly remembered as one of the first to explore how elements of Middle Eastern and North African music can integrate with jazz idioms. Originally released on Prestige Records, this is his fifth studio effort featuring Bilal Abdurrahman (alto saxophone, clarinet, Korean reed flute, percussion) and William Henry Allen (bass, percussion). A peculiar combination of different instruments and sounds for a step into the Eastern side of jazz.
