Liner notes from the labels website:
"...Among the recordings found in 1201 Music’s vaults was this unissued session, which included names for all the songs but no list of personnel or recording date, though it seems likely that it was taped in the early 1970s with some of Pukwana’s usual collaborators. Most of Pukwana’s pieces are built upon simple riffs, yet they allow for plenty of spirited improvising by the musicians. “Hidden Spirits” is an upbeat dance, with Pukwana possibly overdubbing several instruments, including alto and soprano saxes, keyboards and more. “Ducking Darkness” initially has an R&B flavor, with African rhythms and spirited horns, though the pianist quickly stretches into free territory with his exploratory solo, along with wailing alto sax. “Blessing Light” is a bit of a switch, being straight-ahead hard bop with potent trumpet, soprano sax and trombone solos over the steady rhythm section. The lively “Black Horse” is a breezy African dance vehicle, with Pukwana’s playing a subdued soprano sax solo over the surging rhythm section, followed by a extended penny whistle solo (likely by the leader as well)...."
