Midnight Band: The First Minute of a New Day

VINYL FORMAT. Originally released in 1974, this is the 1998 re-mastered TVT Records reissue of Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson's debut for Arista. 'This follow-up to the righteous and soulful Winter in America LP continues with the solid, decidedly left-of-center jazz-R&B that made him a cult figure throughout the '70s. This output, with the opening meditation of "Offering" and the right-on "Ain't No Such Thing as Superman," solidifies Heron's place in the pantheon of jazz poets. Dig the recited (possibly improvised) live take of "Pardon Our Analysis," a follow-up to his seminal "H2O Blues."' - All Music Guide
