“A marvelous double album that documents the historical collaboration between Don Cherry and Swiss pianist, composer George Gruntz, a central figure in European jazz who always showed a special interest in extending his solid post bop skills through other languages such as ethnic or even baroque music.
This is North-African, deep-flavored jazz recorded live in Tunisia and Germany in May and September 1969; a trance-inducing jazz ritual.”
