Quintessence - Quintessence

Rare private pressed soul jazz by the group Quintessence from Connecticut. Recorded in 1980, the jazz arrangements here are soulful and full-bodied with some nice texturing with the rhodes, saxophone, flute, trombone, flugelhorn, recorder, congas, bongos, bass, acoustic bass, handclaps, drums and vocals by the lovely Kharmia. This is the only recording made by Quintessence and has styles similar to Pharaoh Sanders "Journey to the One" and Cullen Knight's "Looking Up". Original Sealed Pressing from 1981. Recommended.
