    I'm pretty sure the album art was a visual reference for "Il mio canto libero" cover by Lucio Battisti from 1972.

    https://www.discogs.com/it/release/2219954-Lucio-Battisti-Il-Mio-Canto-Libero

    And it is not a coincidence that at the end of Lucio's title track one can feel the same spiritual mood which pervades Mary Lou's masterpiece!

      "Praise The Lord" is the gem track here. Absolutely fantastic Dancefloor Party Jazz masterpiece. The guitar from Grant Green is the icing on the cake.
