The Collective

This amazing concert is presented here for the 1st time ever, complete and with exact sequence. the title track is one of the most beautiful compositions that i had ever heard, if it'll not touch yr heart, consult the heart (and not the mind). spiritual jazz at his deepest heights. Presently there is a lot of attention being paid to the rebirth of The Pyramids. There have been multiple European tours, a plethora of reissues, and new recordings. However, The Collective's story has NEVER been told and/or heard outside of Ohio until now! Listen to this extraordinary music for the FIRST time. A music still fresh and vibrant after 42 years!" ~Idris Ackamoor, August 8, 2013.

Special guest Greg LaMont Wright - soprano saxophone on 'Beginning Roots'. Recorded live at Antioch College, Kelly Hall, Ohio, August 29, 1971.
