I like the album because of its variety. First two songs are straight
out soul jazz, not anything extraordinary IMHO. Last song of the
a-side, "Little Sunflower" is excellent, with Ray Barretto on
percussion. B-side is filled with great soloing on top of
weird time signatures and some nice free jazz moments. There's
no basic dancefloor stuff there (well, maybe for a progressive
audience =) ), but it's a solid jazz album.
