"Recorded in Italy in 1985, this is a valuable record of a unique trio -- saxophonist Larry Stabbins, pianist Keith Tippett, and drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo -- playing at the very top of their game. Larry Stabbins, after years of playing with many of the greatest improvising musicians of the '60s and '70s (John Stevens, Chris McGregor, Keith Tippett, Mike Westbrook, Tony Oxley etc) had recently exploded onto the pop world with the bands Weekend and Working Week and was quite famous in Italy. Not to be outdone, Louis Moholo-Moholo turned up to this gig in full 'warpaint' and all three play like the clappers. Both Louis and Keith are in their prime here, and the level of playing by all three is off the scale."

"Issued on CD for the very first time, this beautiful album was drummer Louis Moholo-Moholo's second as a leader his group, Viva La Black, now included younger members of the South African and Caribbean diaspora, including the jazz warrior Steve Williamson. Arguably overlooked on release, the album, newly remastered from the tapes and including two extra bonus tracks, sounds vibrant and fresh and demonstrates Louis' strength as a bandleader in the Art Blakey style. Recorded at Redan Studios, London, 27th January 1988. Featuring Louis Moholo-Moholo (drums, vocals), Claude Deppa (trumpet, flugelhorn), Steve Williamson (tenor and soprano saxophone), Sean Bergin (tenor and alto saxophone), Roberto Bellatalla (bass), and Thebe Lipere (percussion, congas, drums)."
