Thanks for another great lesson and congratulations on the release of your new recording "Q Vision." I listened to the album HIFI quality on TIDAL streaming music service and was pleased to find 3 more of your albums available on your artist page, keep up the great work. Loved the Elvin Jones information, the groove on "A Love Supreme Pt1" is epic, so infectious and soulful. What a contrast to Art Blakey's "A Night in Tunisia" with the straight Latin interpretation and kick butt tempo. Superb lesson showing the many feels and colors of the Mozambique, very inspiring.
