A classic of spiritual jazz! The album is one of the few rare pairings of Sonny
Simmons and Prince Lasha from the 60s – and it's arguably the greatest album they ever cut! The set was recorded for the Contemporary label in LA, but it's far far different than the cool jazz that was the label's stock in trade during most of the 50s – done instead with a pulsating spiritual feel that really takes off as the album progresses! The lineup features the twin-reed frontline of Lasha on flute and
Simmons on alto, plus an amazing rhythm section that includes 2 bass players (Gary Peacock and Mark Procter), who really give the tunes a pulsating feel overall – plus drums by
Gene Stone. Titles include the famous groover "Congo Call", plus the tracks "AY", "Lost
Generation", "Red's Mood", and "Green & Gold".
