i need more spiritual jazz like this, beyond the obvious stuff. i dig the freeness, but it's also bluesy, chilled and trance-like at times, avoiding lurching into chaotic, over urgent free improv freak outs. gimme any recs you got!

I have a promo copy of this pressing. I tried to create another version for it, but it got removed. Shouldn't the promo press have a separate version?

even though this seems to be her most revered release, i actually prefer both Universal Consciousness and World Galaxy. this one seems way more tame and structured than the aforementioned two which are unhinged avant jazz masterpieces.

These price hikes are insane. This record was 20-30$ some time ago. Still a 5/5 masterpiece!

As far as avant-jazz goes, I'm not a huge fan, but this album, THIS album is transcendent. Throw on some head phones and while some free/avant discs will become grating, this album just fires on a cacophony of bliss. Highly recommended, especially those who gave up on listening to avant/free jazz without having heard this. HARD FILED!
