One of the hippest albums ever from Chicago reedman/trumpeter Ira Sullivan a set that takes on a really different feel than his previous bop-styled records and which shows a whole new side of the musician! Ira's clearly inspired here by the changes in jazz in the 60s particularly the work of John Coltrane and he reaches forward in a wonderfully expressive way that's filled with joy, life, and a spiritual sensibility we never heard this strongly again in Sullivan's music. There's a definite modal jazz vibe to most of the record played beautifully by an obscure rhythm section that features Dolphe Castellano on piano and electric harpsichord, William Fry on bass, and Jose Cigno on drums players with a wonderfully refreshing conception that really makes the album sparkle. Yet Sullivan's the clear star of the show, too really shining on a range of horns that includes trumpet, tenor, and soprano sax sometimes played together on the same tune. Lon Norman plays a bit of trombone on the record and the set's got some great eastern numbers like "Ninevah", "Horizons", and "Adah" – plus the tracks "Oh G", "Norwegian Wood", and "E Flat Tuba G".
