The great Roland Kirk. Saw him once at the Colston Hall, Bristol in about 1970. Unforgettable.

Really enjoying the new Steve Swallow.

Diz on a slightly different road with still enough energy to try something different.
Described as his version of carnival music.
Fine guitar from Al Gafa. Session musician from Paul Simon to the Monkees.
Diz did follow the Baha’i faith perhaps the album title mirrors that sentiment.

You’ re right about this one Skeptical! I dug out my CD as I haven’t listened to this album in ages and ripped it for streaming. The recording really does move some air, particularly on Stanley Clarke’s bass on ‘Goodbye Pork Pie Hat’. Thank you for posting. Another CD from my collection rediscovered. I think I’ll take ‘The Manhattan Project’ for a spin later!

Hi @JazzMan
We seen him live a while ago and it was tremendous in a converted church the place was shaking.
I got to meet him afterwards I was amazed he is so tall. 
Not your ‘conventional’ Coltrane but fascinating for it. As most of my favoured jazz, not for the faint hearted.

I bought this lp, and Om on release but never liked them much and haven’t heard them for many years. You prompted me to have another (digital) listen but I’m still not a fan.
For me Om is just too unstructured. Monastic Trio is better but I don’t think Pharaoh adds much and there is a lot of noodling.
