Astral Weeks is incredible considering Morrison never met the musicians before the recording sessions and most songs were recorded on the first or second take. But maybe not as incredible as it seems given the caliber of top tier jazz musicians, Jay Berliner, Connie Kaye, Warren Smith Jn, but especially bassist Richard Davis who acted as musical director. All of the music was improvised in a few takes.
