This is a super-rare 1970 Deep Spiritual Jazz album from the Lloyd McNeill Quartet. This album was originally released by the flute player on his own private-press Asha Recording Company in Washington, DC. It is the rarest most in-demand of McNeill's albums and only 1000 copies were ever pressed. Lloyd McNeill is a multi-disciplinary artist - a painter who lived in Paris in 1965 and was a friend of Picasso, a musician who has worked with Nina Simone, Nana Vasconceles, Ron Carter, Cecil McBee and many more and a music anthropologist, poet and teacher. In the 1960s, he was involved in the civil-rights movement and produced music for ballet, paintings and installations. Washington Suite was composed for the Capital Ballet Company, Washington.
