"Welcome to the mind-expanding 1968 jazz recording of Bill Plummer and The Cosmic Brotherhood -- where Eastern and psychedelic influences meld together to produce one of the trippiest jazz albums on Impulse Records. This LP is a much-sought-after sonic travelogue, with the pop-psych spoken-word sitar freakout of 'Journey To The East' to Bill Plummer's swinging, rapid fire/cool jazz compositions, to his covers that go straight to the heart of any '60s genre-crossing jazz fans. Featuring an incredible who's who of the high-caliber talent bubbling over in the Los Angeles music scene at the time: Carol Kaye (legendary bass player of The Wrecking Crew); Maurice Miller (drummer in The Jazz Corps); Dennis Budimir (guitarist with Chico Hamilton Quintet, Ravi Shankar, and Frank Zappa); Mike Lang (piano with Flamin' Groovies & Hal Blaine); Tom Scott (saxophone with Gabor Szabo & Thelonious Monk); Ray Neopolitan (Bass for The Doors & Leonard Cohen); Milt Holland (percussionist with The Wrecking Crew and Captain Beefheart); Bill Goodwin (drums for Mose Allison and Tom Waits). Housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with iconic liner notes by Frank Kofsky, who comes out swinging hard in favor of the album, while shaking the dust off any jazz snobs left in the '60s who still were not ready to embrace the future of jazz. Produced by Bob Thiele who produced everyone from John Coltrane, Art Blakey, to Charles Mingus, this sonic rarity is yet another impressive vinyl reissue from the folks at Jackpot Records."
