Ahead of it's time and not just because of the much lauded opening track. Not only are there politicly conscious lyrics but most the songs stand up as great tunes by themselves: Save the Children, Lady Day and John Coltrane, Home is Where the Hatred is, Pieces of a Man. Gil Scott-Heron's pain filled voice sounds great backed by the Bass of Ron Carter from Miles Davis' Quintet and the delicate piano of Brain Jackson
