• Dont let the date fool you, released back in 1983 this modal to slightly free jazz outfit from California takes you on a journey back to the late 60s and very early 70s, into the spiritual realms of greats likeJohn Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, John McLaughlin and Miles Davisamong others. A soul jazz treasure from the LA scene of the early 80s a fantastic record that I rank with the bestStrata Eastsides of the time! The group's led by alto saxophonistDadisi Komolafe, and features vibes byRicky Kelly, piano byEric Tillman, bass byRoberto Miranda, and drums bySunship Theus all working together in a style that's infused with soulful, post-Coltrane exploratory energy, never going too far outside, and always staying true to the rhythmic pulse at its core. Kelly's vibes are really great sparkling underneath solos byKomolafethat remind me a lot ofGary Bartz'searliest work.
