A great set of straight jazz from Roy, recorded for Atlantic, and with a feel that's a lot edgier than some of his other work from the time! The groups on the record feature some of the hippest soul jazz players of the time -- including Charles Tolliver, Jack Wilson, Joe Henderson, Harold Land, and Reggie Workman -- and the feel of the material is almost a precursor to the Strata East sound of the 70s. Tracks are long and spiritual -- and titles include "Glow Flower", "Ayerloom", "Virgo Vibes", "In The Limelight" and Charles Tolliver's "The Ringer".

Enjoy:
