Agree, very enjoyable. Big takeaways for me are the players on 2, 4, 6 & 9. That's a few times George Adams has hooked me. I need to pick up some of his albums. 

I'm a George fan, but sadly, much of his output is made up of albums with two strong tracks and a lot of filler thereafter, IMHO.  This one and Sound Suggestions on ECM are the standouts in my collection (if you want to save a little cash).  City Gates is fair, Earth Beams is good.  After that, I find them inconsistent at best.  Particularly with the Adams-Pullen Quartet setting, where it became an exercise in how-fast-can-we-play.  In general, that band would have benefited greatly from shaving 20BPM off the pace most of the time.

Thanks. Sound Suggestions is actually the one I was going to pick up first.
