Digitally remastered edition of this 1969 album from the Lloyd McNeill Quartet. This album was originally released by McNeill on his own Asha Recording Company in Washington, DC. African-American flute player Lloyd McNeill is a multi-disciplinary artist: a painter who lived in Paris in 1965 and was a friend of Picasso, a musician who has worked with Nina Simone, Nana Vasconceles, Ron Carter, Cecil McBee and many more and a music anthropologist, poet and teacher. In the 1960s he was involved in the civil-rights movement and produced music for ballet, paintings and installations. His music mixes Jazz with Latin, Brazilian and African rhythms that McNeill learnt whilst studying anthropology in his travels through much of Africa and Brazil (where he joined up with Dom Salvador, Paulinho da Viola, Paulo Maura and Martinho da Vila).
