Stanley Cowell's masterpiece, Musa - Ancestral Streams, was released by Strata-East in 1973. It weaves a spiritual space with tranquil solo piano. Classical structural beauty resonates with jazz improvisation, creating a series of sounds that resonate like prayer. It is a solitary work that is deeply rooted in the context of the Black Arts Movement, yet brimming with universal beauty. The reason it has stood the test of time is its clarity and soul-shaking melodies. It is a timeless masterpiece that symbolizes Strata-East.
