What's up Argo,
I would recommend anything by Gary Bartz, also Weldon Irvine.
but the JOINT that you want to find, this shit rocks my world is called
"The Eastern Moods of Ahmed Abdul Malik", on prestige.
I chanced upon it in a flea market, also for $5, although the copy I got
is snap crackle poppin all over the place.
Anyway its a deep jazzy excursion with middle eastern harmonics and strong
spiritual emotions.
I would also recommend John Mayer (i think that's his name, it might be
Mayall) "Indo Jazz Suite", on Atlantic records.
another one that's real intense is "Akwebu-Lan" on Strata East. An amazing
document of the late 60's early 70's African American movement towards
their african roots as an expression of their discontent with
America. Features heavyweights like Gary Bartz (and others, but I dont
have the record in front of me), with lots of spoken word and hand drawn
artwork on the cover.
Much of John Coltrane's later work is in a similar vain as well, but you
probably know that already.
Happy Digging
Nat
