Worlds : As Time Flows On.

Worlds : As Time Flows On.

World Production Label, J-World-BSE-2.

Recorded in Boston, February 1977.

Released Roxbury, Massachusetts 1980.

The follow up to the ultra rare World's Experience Orchestra-The beginning of a new birth lp (World Productions BSE-1) This features a smaller line-up than the previous album, with Roy Hall (vocalist/percussionist) being the only musician added to the group.

For my part, this one takes a few listens following the expectations of the first killer album release. However, it's a fine album which grows with time, or as time flows on . . . .

Ndikho Xaba

Ndikho Xaba : Ndikho Xaba and the Natives

1969 by Trilyte # LR-7001

Privately Pressed holy grail Afro Spiritual Jazz on the Trilyte label out of Oakland, California. Incredible music in the same vein as Tribe and Strata-East. Thought to be the first ever appearance of Plunky Branch ; Plunky & Oneness Of Juju on a vinyl record. Extremely limited private pressing which is both beautiful & moving Spiritual Free Jazz. It features long groove based tribal jams with "Freedom" being an amazing bluesy soul stomp. The album features some really moving and inspired playing, and even some vocalizing (chanting, singing) J. Plunky Branch is an acclaimed Avant Afro-Funk Jazz saxophonist from Richmond. Bassist Ken Shabala (Kent Parker) came from Brooklyn. They met in college & formed a group called the Soul Syndicate with Kent Parker the lead singer. From 1966-68 they played the New York circuit until moving to San Francisco where in 1969 they met Lon Moshe (Ron Martin) creating this African-Avant-Garde group with Ndikho Xaba. They recorded this one lone lp, led by South African pianist/percussionist, Ndikho Xaba until soon forming Plunky & Oneness Of Juju releasing their first album in 1972 and relocating to New York.

Another holy grail spiritual jazz album along the lines of the Real ShooBeeDoo post. Been looking for this since Greg mentioned it over at his place a little while back. Very very rare private press business on Triad Concept Music from 1975. Just one track here, called Aquarian Voices.
