This instrumental album weaves jazzy sections in and out of themes from The Wizard Of Oz, with sitar, strings, flute, trumpet, bongos and classical and electric guitars... Good fun, and could only have been made when it was' - Endless Trip A wonderful instrumental exploration along the lines of David Axelrod perhaps. Beautifully crafted and produced. Even though there are some references to various Oz melodies, there's nothing corny here. Instead it's a jazzy, arty, soundtrack feeling that's super cool. Highly recommended. The album cover (pictured above) is kind of smashing. With its hand-colored stained glass motif framing the center image, it’s a classic ‘60s design, connected to the art neuveau twenties revival, psychedelia, and its combination of adult and childish sensibilities. The grown-up Dorothy very much in command of her jazz-trio, turned-on Oz friends is a smashing image, and the kind of vaginal frame that surrounds them delivers an intentionally subliminal message. Is that a black dude as the Tin Man? Esche masterpiece of early experimental psychedelia, yet ... words to describe it freakout-journey to the Land of Oz difficult - orchestral wadding, bravura marches, early nondescript electronics, manual eastern percussion, harpsichord, flute crooked mystery, a very active sitar, occasional guitar revelation (space fuzz / 12-Toe the line), sometimes deliberately imposition of all these components saxophones and a piano, atonality and pretentiousness. Truly creative and pinhole in manifestation; You can compare with the early DAVID AXELROD, 101 STRINGS-ASTRO-SOUND, COSMIC BROTHERHOOD.
