A masterpiece jam album that showcases the joy of improvisation
Al Cooper, joined by Mike Bloomfield and Steve Stills, breaks new ground in improvisation with this historic masterpiece.
Mike Bloomfield's flowing guitar and Steve Stills' sharp playing contrast vividly against the warmth of the Hammond organ. Harvey Brooks' bass and Eddie Ho's drums provide a solid foundation, and the tense exchanges of "Albert's Shuffle" and the extended jam of "Season of the Witch" really shine. This album peaked at number 12 on the Billboard charts and was certified gold by the RIAA, showcasing the potential of jamming in rock music.
