Arista/Novus, 1980. Very Good+ ... $14.99
One of the most evocative albums we've ever heard from pianist Ran Blake – a set that's got all the sharp edges of some of his most adventurous solo work, but one that also has Ran working in a few different settings, often with a very poetic feel! The set's not a hokey retro-crime record ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

An amazing album that has Art Blakey completely reinventing himself for the 70s!
