"Professor, herbalist, healer, Milford Graves is first and foremost one of the world's great geniuses of the drum. Rarely heard live, even more rarely found in the studio, a new recording by Milford Graves is a special event."

"A drummer of unparalleled power and creativity... This second volume in a continuing series documenting the solo music of one of the world's most incredible musicians was performed on a special percussion setup allowing unprecedented simultaneity. Playing with his hands, feet, elbows and head Professor Milford Graves takes us to another world with his driving rhythms, intense energy, impassioned vocals. Absolutely riveting."Prof. Graves music is music to live with and will continue to reveal depth and previously unperceived facets after repeated listenings in the long and short term. This is a transformative experience! (Milford Graves: Drums, Percussion, Vocals)"
