Insight (Prince Lasha album)

Insight is an album by saxophonist/flautist Prince Lasha that was recorded in England in 1966 and originally released on the CBS label.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, with its review by Thom Jurek stating: "this is not an exploratory outside date, but a straight-ahead session of originals and standards, divided between uptempo numbers and ballads. ...For all its traditionalism, this is indeed a major date for Lasha and reveals how deeply ensconced he was in the bop and swing lineages."
