"First album from the second quintet, but I can't argue with a previous comment that they are already at their peak...from which they never dropped in their three years together. While Coltrane was moving to the noisy free jazz of Ayler and Ornette etc, Miles and the quintet were keeping it much m..."  [+]  Reply

"If you like the 60s San Francisco sound (Jefferson Airplane) you'll probably like this album. Ethereal folk music, heavy on the violin. Listen to the song White Bird on youtube."  Reply

"I think I'm halfway in-between the earlier comments. While this album isn't an all-time favourite and some of the covers struggle, it's also not a poorly executed flop. Their covers of Renegades of Funk and How I Could Just Kill a Man aren't better than the originals, but take them in an entirely..."  [+]  Reply

"Beautifully performed modern Sufi wrapped in a jazz blanket. Certainly night is its domain; it is by turns dark and soothing. Aftab’s voice is smooth and mellifluous and the playing complements it wonderfully. Superb."  Reply

"Is it weird that I wish every song was twice as long as they are? I could really get lost in every minute of this thing.
