Notes
Fourteen tracks including music by Tony Williams, Azar Lawrence, and Djavan. The labels didn't promote these, now there's danger that they'll be forgotten as they slip out of the catalogs. Beautiful work to be cherished.

What a wonderful grouping of songs. I especially liked "Baby Man", "Civilization" and "Bougarabou". Buster William's bass in both "Baby Man" and "Beast Beautiful" were outstanding. In my opinion, it seems that the African drummer has a more intimate connection to the drums than a jazz drummer does. That's not to say that it's better or worse, just a different feel.
⃠Question: what criteria is used (and by whom) to determine what will be included in a catalog? Naively, I thought a catalog would be comprehensive.

Sweet call and totally magnamimous of you to include the Mary Lou, Dave. One of my favorite records of all time! HOW in the world could "Free Spirit" stay out of print? I think it's Mary Lou's finest work ever.

Lots of fun to build these. Especially satisfying since few folks have a chance to hear this music.
