 A fantastic never-heard 70s performance from alto genius Arthur Blythe – one captured a few years before his rise to fame on a major label, and with a vibe that's very different than those well-known classics! Blythe here is working in the free, open space of the loft jazz generation – spinning out these stunning long solos on alto sax, in a spare lineup that features Juni Booth on bass, Steve Reid on drums, and Muhammad Abdullah on conga – no piano or other horns at all, which means that Blythe gets plenty of room to step out and solo! And in fact, the first track on the set is a solo alto number of brilliance – and things only get better as the other players come into the mix, especially Booth, who's got a very melodic way of handling the bass, creating these tones that are almost as if there's a secret keyboardist hanging there at times. The music moves beautifully from spiritual to freer modes – and titles include "Lower Nile", "Miss Nancy", "Spirits In The Field", and a "Medley Of Unidentified Titles"
