Powerful piano creates modal melodies, and stellar musicians like Gary Bartz and Azymuth's Airto Moreira join forces to passionately intertwine Afro-Latin rhythms and jazz improvisation. The title track, while lengthy, boasts overwhelming propulsion, its vibrant rhythmic swells and spiritual uplift make it a masterpiece that will shine on any club floor. This timeless masterpiece encapsulates the passion and spiritual quest of '70s jazz.
