Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. Sweet silver cycles from Eddie Harris – a wonderful late 60s album that features lots of lines on the electrified Varitone saxophone, mixed with cool contributions from a shifting lineup of soulful musicians!

Other players include Melvin Jackson on bass, Seldon Powell on reeds, and Joe Zawinul on keyboards.
