Note: Early pressings contained some wacky composer credits.
Jingo by modern classical composer Aaron Copland? His Statements For Orchestra did contain a section with the same name.
Real composer is Babatunde Olatunji (1960 album, Drums Of Passion as Jin-Go-Lo-Ba (Drums Of Passion)).

Beginning A Mystical Trip Caravanseri was the last album to feature Rolie and Schon (they formed Journey, which thankfully is outside the scope of this website—see what I mean?) and was a transition album for Carlos, who ventured into spritualism and free-form jazz. Killer album, mostly instrumental and no hit singles. Clive Davis told Carlos it was "commercial suicide," and Carlos shrugged. |
