I agree 100%. It doesn't have as many rockers as some of the other albums but the songwriting is consistently great, and it captures the era perfectly

My sophomore year of college, he brought his group to Montclair State to play in the college aufitorium. When they played this it was mind blowing.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:30pm

I saw someone today make an excellent point, about jazz label guys that don't get the credit they deserve (mainly about Creed Taylor) but they also mentioned Manfred Eicher as well.
