Almost like some of those Sun Ra sci fi tunes but without the cute kitsch. Really?! I prefer some of his other records, but I'm not sure this is exactly fair. I'd still put this above almost any Sun Ra record, cute kitsch or no kitsch. Not necessarily by a long way, but... come on! It hasn't dated a minute. Quote

I found myself wishing it was a trio of Dolphy, Williams & Davis. Hubbard & Hutch - I love 'em, esp Hutch - but their playing seemed unnecessary and upped the hoke-factor for me. I definitely wouldn't put it above some of Ra's albums. Quote

It's not my favourite of Hutcherson's performances, and his playing does colour the album as a whole, I guess. Hubbard seemed to get everywhere at that point, including places that he probably could have stayed out of. But I think he's good here, certainly compared to the lost soul on some other records from the period. VSOP - The Quintet (Columbia, 1977). This album's a bit like a school reunion. Everyone is a bit heavier and balder, but you quickly remember why you were friends originally. Wayne in particular seems to be relishing his day out away from the family.
