I first bought this record, not really being familiar with his music, because the cover art was so wonderful. I listened to a few seconds here and there, and originally passed it off as early elevator music, but it is so much more.
this album (i hope to find many more in the future) is a sort of spaced out, formless, psychadelic spiritual jazz... it really took me somewhere.
there is a really cool rendition of Pharoah Sander's "Colors" (one of my favorite jazz records of all time) called "Colors of the Rainbow"...
but i will show an example that people might be able to appreciate in a more associative sort of way.
here is the track "Devika (Goddess)":
Sound familiar? here's "NY is Red Hot" by Digable Planets:
