The title implies that the music might be interpreted differently depending on your knowledge of jazz and avant-garde music. It is a sprawling, genre-bending musical journey that blends elements of jazz, funk, rock, soul, hip-hop, and even elements of classical music, drawing from diverse influences like Jimi Hendrix, Curtis Mayfield, Thelonious Monk, and even George Clinton, all under the leadership of guitarist and producer Greg Tate, creating a unique sound that is difficult to categorize but deeply rooted in the African American musical experience; essentially, "a multi-ethnic troop of New York birth with no fixed genre" that expands and contracts like liquid mercury across a series of jams and dreams.
Greg Tate approached me in 2001 with Xeroxed photographs of the recording sessions and said:
Do some Art.
