The world's first LP recurrence that I have longed for!
The long-awaited reissue of the most important spiritual jazz label is finally back!　A miracle piece that includes the masterpiece "Peace" that combines a peaceful world view, modal sound, and black groove!

A gem that expresses the beauty, strength, and depth of US spiritual jazz!The first work recorded in 1974 by the ensemble al-Salam, led by saxophonist Karik Abdul al-Roof. Afrocentric "The Sojourner", "Circles" which can be said to be the prototype of To Banks of Four, high-speed modal jazz "Trace Of Trane" dedicated to Coltrane, "Malika" full of thrills and tension, peaceful " I want as many music fans as possible to listen to "Optimystical" and the famous song "Peace" that changes from a warm and soulful first half to an angry Brazilian! One piece that I truly think!Among them, the song by Beatrice Parker, a female vocalist with a sense of life, seems to be a jewel.。
