A super-hip batch of soul jazz tracks by Albert Toodie Heath of the Heath Brothers -- working here on a rare session as a leader, with a sound that's right up there with the Heath Brothers' early work for Strata East!! The lineup is incredible -- as Heath is joined by players that include Don Cherry, Buster Williams, Mtume, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Heath, and Ed Blackwell -- all coming together for a session that's nearly lost to the history books, but which is one of the strongest spiritual jazz sessions of the late 60s! Herbie plays all acoustic piano throughout, and the tracks are long, leaping, and loping -- with stretched-out spiritual solos from Jimmy Heath and Don Cherry -- and a proud and righteous sound that's extremely free-spirited without going too far out! Titles include "Baraka", "Maulana", "Dunia", and "Kamili".

nice album. It always struck how different everyone sounds on this one than on their own stuff -- Herbie in particular has a harder sound, more like McCoy... I like the cut where they all recite the Kawaida principles, too. Thanks for putting this up!
This is a great album, issued wherever under a different leaderhip, Herbie, Mtume or Tootie. I had the cheap Spanish edition and bought a cheaper still Australian double CD before realizing it... I remember reading a blindfold with the Heath Brothers all of them pouring vile on the avantgarde...What to think?
Thanks very much - you've posted some GREAT music so far. I've justed ordered 3 LP's (including this one) from hearing them here.
Thank you! Great blog!
Cherry makes it happen. Thanks.
