A stunning collaboration between two piano masters, this album showcases Masabumi Kikuchi's electric piano work alongside Gil Evans' visionary orchestral arrangements. The ensemble features exceptional horn contributions from Billy Harper (tenor and flute) and Hannibal Marvin Peterson (trumpet and flugelhorn), with Evans adding experimental textures via ring modulator. The bold, innovative arrangements seamlessly blend electric and acoustic instrumentation in ways that set this big band sound apart from its contemporaries. Featuring tracks like "Priestess," "Ictus," "Cry Of Hunger," "Eleven," "Drizzling Rain," and "Thoroughbred," this is modernist jazz at its finest.
