I'd say Olé is even better. You can cut the air with a knife when the title track is playing.

Such a rewarding song, Olé. An interpretation of an old Republican civil war song, pure bliss when the melody kicks in.

The melody is very strong. Also when Trane's last solo kicks in is something really strong.

What I really like about him is when he just screams like a total madman through the saxophone. That's why one of my favorite albums from him is the last live The Olatunji Concert with Pharoah Sanders, where the sick man just roars like a lion. Horrible sound quality but I'd say his strongest band and absolutely brilliant music.
