"I recently saw Toots playing the same old songs at a FREE concert in Blackburn. Rain had washed off the free festival in the park, so Toots was moved to the small stage at King George's Hall. What a great night. He played a number of tracks from this, including the title track." Reply

"There’s a lot of remarkable things about this album but one that stands out to me is Tony Williams.

During his life on Earth, Saturnian Sun Ra has created pioneering sounds that have helped change not only the sound of jazz, but many other genres..." [+] Reply
"I used to listen regularly to the Grateful Dead, and I especially liked both "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty", so it was natural to give the predecessor to these two 1970 albums,"Aoxomoxoa", a chance.
