2026 stock Rainbow, originally released in 1968 and reissued by the Italian label Akarma, is a psychedelic masterpiece blending raga, jazz, soul, R&B, and spoken-word meditations into a spiritually charged suite of nine tracks. Produced by Alan Lorber, the album evokes the colors of the rainbow through poetic lyrics by the enigmatic Bobby Callender, who composed most pieces and delivered recitations amid complex rhythms and improvisational flair. It features elite session musicians like Bernard Purdie on drums, Eric Gale on guitar, and Collin Walcott on sitar and tabla, creating a floating, cross-cultural atmosphere that remains a collector's gem.
