Flutist-composer Makinto, a native of Liberia, also contributes the lovely guajira "Bukoki." Elsewhere, they put a hypnotic 6/8 groove underneath Victor Feldman's "Seven Steps to Heaven," a staple for the Miles Davis quintet, and they deliver some Fela-style Afro-beat on "Climb the Mountain." The collection closes with a brief three-way percussion dialogue that only hints at the essence of what Olatunji and company delved into in a much deeper sense.
