je connais un peu Van Der Graaf, bien que je n'en ai pas beaucoup écouté. Par contre j'ai été stupéfait en écoutant des trucs solos de Peter Hammill, et en me rendant compte de l'énorme influence qu'il a pu avoir sur des tas de gens si différents et aussi des plus connus Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Rod Stewart et des tas d'autres (mais ça ne me reviens pas) vraiment séminal, pour le coup, Peter Hammill !

A super-hip batch of soul jazz tracks by Albert Toodie Heath of the Heath Brothers -- working here on a rare session as a leader, with a sound that's right up there with the Heath Brothers' early work for Strata East!! The lineup is incredible -- as Heath is joined by players that include Don Cherry, Buster Williams, Mtume, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Heath, and Ed Blackwell -- all coming together for a session that's nearly lost to the history books, but which is one of the strongest spiritual jazz sessions of the late 60s! Herbie plays all acoustic piano throughout, and the tracks are long, leaping, and loping -- with stretched-out spiritual solos from Jimmy Heath and Don Cherry -- and a proud and righteous sound that's extremely free-spirited without going too far out! Titles include "Baraka", "Maulana", "Dunia", and "Kamili".
