A big free band of thirteen musicians on side one and a septet on side two. Led by Sunny Murray,  climates builder and climbs climax, gives us a beautiful  free jazz album where the imagination of musicians creates a dreamed Africa, a pure original world where the percussions rustle, the brass scream and the reeds sway.
An improvisation album where the musicians go wild following a simple frame agreed in a few sentences before recording.
