One of my favorite Third Stream albums, all killer and no filler. Szabo would later attempt to get his hands wet in the George Benson smooth-jazz style mold (and not very well overall), but here he's at his peak, especially on his haunting interpretation of 'Half The Day Is Night'. Guys like Jan Akkerman and Claus Ogerman owe a lot of their best work to Szabo's preferred aesthetic, so he gets major brownie points from me there for that.
10 out of 10.
