Bassist Melvin Jackson has recorded only one album under his name in his career (most of which he spent accompanying soul-jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris). But that is all the more amazing for it. in 1969, he went into the studio with his upright bass, an arsenal of effects gear and rather avant-garde musicians from the circle of Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman and Chicago’s Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) to record a thrillingly psychdelic and funky soul-jazz album that anticipated much of what Herbie Hancock would play four years later with his band The Headhunters.
