Nice 2LP pressing in thick gatefold sleeve. A signpost event in spiritual jazz, West Coast afrocentric avant-garde arrives on the soil of East Coast free jazz. Juju and bandleader James "Plunky Nkabinde" Branch would go on to form the musical backbone of the DC-based Black Fire jazz cartel, which originally released these recordings, and create a lasting center of gravity for the regional movement in Richmond, VA.
