This superbly
melodic and
strange
distillation
of pop, folk,
psych and
jazz was
inspired by
the paintings of Paul Klee,
and first appeared in 1968.
Despite being credited to
a proper band, it was in fact
a studio recording overseen
by the Cleveland-based team
of jazz composer Chuck
Mangione and local producerarranger
Roger Karshner, who
called the songs 'electronic
paintings'.
The album is presented here
