Featuring the cream of california's jazzmen (including members of Gabor Szabo's Band and Bill Plummer's Cosmic Brotherhood), this criminally-overlooked 1969 Hollywood set fuses modal jazz and psychedelic rock to unforgettable effect. Stuffed with haunting melodies, mellow vibraphone, ripping fuzz guitar and irresistible grooves, it's a lost classic that'll appeal to fans of acid rock and psychedelic jazz alike. ~ amazon.com
