  • First Record Impression

    5 out of 5 stars
    togjjodpoq2 July 2025United States🇺🇸

    Got myself a copy of this record. It sounds fantastic, with a nice depth to it. Can't compare it to others since this is the only one I've listened to.

  • Missing Tracks in Reissue

    5 out of 5 stars
    dedxn6727 April 2025United States🇺🇸

    I've just noticed that this reissue doesn't include three tracks from the original: "Memories of You," "Roland Kirk’s Message," and "Orange was the Color of Her Dress" are all missing here.

  • Jazz Piano Journey

    5 out of 5 stars
    cegvq7218 April 2025United States🇺🇸

    Complex and heartfelt solo piano pieces that reveal the tender and reflective nature of the so-called “angry man of jazz,” also highlighting his remarkable improvisational talents and admiration for Duke Ellington. The surface noise is quite noticeable on my copy, likely caused by low-quality vinyl. Pop this record on and drift away. It's an enchanting and captivating journey you won't want to stop.

  • Meditation's Dynamic Sound Journey

    5 out of 5 stars

    Truly an amazing piece for meditation, it really helps to deepen our minds with its dynamic sounds

  • Initial Canadian Stereo Version

    Is this a re-release or the initial Canadian stereo version?
