A miraculous spiritual jazz masterpiece that has been praised by Sabbabia magazine. Born from an encounter with Nation: African Liberation Arts Ensemble, whom Madhubuti met at the university where he taught, this memorable first album released in 1976 fully reflects Madhubuti's high sense of beauty!
This work has become more popular in recent years because of its gentle style. Of particular note is the masterpiece "Walk The Way Of The New World," which is beautiful to the core due to the balance between the mellow electric piano melody, light flute, a flowing track with female scat, and Madhubuti's heroic poetry. The plaintive and mystical tone of the song is ear-catching. The funky, high-speed jazz of "Talking Stick" and the fast-paced title track "Rise, Vision, Comin" are also superb. This is a masterpiece of an album that is even better than "Medasi".
