Linda Hill recorded this LP for Nimbus West in 1981 with fellow Arkestra members, including flautist Adele Sebastian. And its Sebastians vocal duet with Hill on the spiritual jazz epic Lelands Song that opens this stunning LP. Hills ensemble also included the serious horn player Sabir Matteen, as well as bassist Roberto Miranda and drummer Everett Brown Jr., who would all go on to record LPs for Nimbus.
The Arkestra first started rehearsing at pianist Linda Hills house in the early 60s. »In a few months, wed built up from seven or eight to about 18 cats, musicians started living there,« Tapscott wrote in his autobiography. »People got involved with the Arkestra like it was their lifes work.« Hill took the role seriously, earning her the name of the Arks matriarch by Tapscott.
