He was invited by ESP in 1964 to record his own album, and in February 1974, he told ESP that he was finally ready, and the session took place later that month. This recording not only features Boykins's solid abilities as a bassist, including his marvelous arco work, but also his talents as a composer and arranger. In addition, one is treated to an all-natural bass sound, a rare sound during this particular era of jazz history. In septet format, Boykinss' six originals create a variety of moods and textures that not only evoke the music of Sun Ra but also reflect Boykins's own sensibilities as an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal pressings, made just before ESP-Disk’ went on hiatus for forty years and thus less common than other ESP LPs, often go for upwards of $150. This limited edition of 500 is on black 180-gram vinyl and features the original artwork.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRonnie Boykins: bass, Sousaphone , bells, shaker\u003cbr\u003e Joe Ferguson: flute, soprano sax, tenor sax, shaker\u003cbr\u003e Art Lewis: percussion, drums, bells, shaker\u003cbr\u003e Jimmy Vass: flute, alto sax, soprano sax, bells, shaker\u003cbr\u003e Monty Waters: alto, soprano, bells, shaker\u003cbr\u003e George Avaloz: conga, bells, shaker\u003cbr\u003e Daoud Haroom: trombone, bells, shaker\u003cbr\u003e Marzette Watts: engineer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003eA1.
