The first ever complete release of the '68, ‘69 and ’70 sessions on a deluxe, limited edition double 180g vinyl album.

This new release features 12 tracks over two LPs, released together for the first time, with tracks taken from five recording sessions from 1968 to 1970. It features, amongst others, Bobby Hutcherson, Andy Bey, Flora Purim and Airto Moreira.
