I took a jazz class in high school, right when the LP for which this film is named came out. Us nimrod miscreants came into the class listening to bloodless rubbish like "Suite For Flute and Jazz Piano" by Claude Bolling and Jean-Pierre Rampal, which isn't even proper jazz at all, and our teacher told us to stop and listen to "The Case of the Three-Sided Dream in Audio Color" instead. Which we did, and were better for it. Though I now prefer his earlier hard-bop stuff before he became Rahsaan, myself, that album is still a touchstone.
