This is a strange LP. Trumpeter
Freddie Hubbard and his quintet (which consisted of tenor-saxophonist
Junior Cook, pianist
Kenny Barron, bassist
Art Booth and drummer
Louis Hayes) is joined by a chorus, a string orchestra, several reciters, an organist and a variety of processed sounds emanating from tapes. The thoughts expressed in the music (topical and anti-war messages) are quite sincere but the abstract sounds will only be enjoyed by a limited audience; jazz fans should look elsewhere. ~ Scott Yanow
