==Music==
''The First Minute of a New Day'' served as Jackson's and Scott-Heron's debut for the Arista label and featured the eight-piece Midnight Band.〔 With the Midnight Band and better financial support from Arista, the album benefited from a larger supporting cast and slicker production, in contrast to the sparse production on ''Winter in America''.〔 The Midnight Band would later be featured on following Scott-Heron albums, assisting in production and back-up instrumentation.
The songs on ''The First Minute of a New Day'', which feature themes ranging from spirituality ("Offering") to revolution ("The Liberation Song") and oppression ("Winter in America"), contain free jazz melodies by the Midnight Band and funk influences.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gil Scott-Heron: The First Minute Of A New Day : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone )〕 "Winter in America" featured themes of struggle and had Scott-Heron singing of social, geographical and environmental oppression. The album's only spoken word cut, also a live take, "Pardon Our Analyis" was a sequel to ''Winter in Americas "H20 Gate Blues" as a criticism of President Richard Nixon's pardon, though this time the track did not feature a musical backing of any kind.
