Frank Zappa's influence really is present on this album and that is one big reason why i enjoy listening it. The other reason is the ease and fluency in the band's playing. Duke himself says this is not one of his finer moments of recording but it serves a place in his musical development.
Don't believe him.. This a great album. There is more spontaneous and authentic depth in their playing than one (and he himself) can maybe think. Lightness and easiness is not always a synonym to "not very high-class". I really enjoy this music on this album.
Georg Duke: The LP was recorded, I believe, during the Spring of 1970 while I was touring with Frank Zappa. His influence is certainly felt in this album.
