Description by OLDIES.com:

Avant-garde guitarist Sonny Sharrock headed out on his own after performing in groups headed by Miles Davis, Herbie Mann, and Pharaoh Sanders. On the Mann-produced "Black Women," his wonderful guitar playing is showcased on five extended original compositions. The second album on this features trombonist Wayne Henderson, who had enjoyed huge success with the Jazz Crusaders. Highlights on the Henderson album include Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" and Otis Redding's "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)."
