This is not the one reissued by Dusty Groove, but a follow-up that to the best of my knowledge has not been reissued.

Joe's solo sounds kinda splicedy, but hey, this ain't the kind of thing to worry about that on, imo.

But Bobby Jones?!?! 1972, Cosby MC-ed the Mingus Carnegie Hall gig, but this is an L.A. date all the way, so...god, musicbusinessisweird.#com/

This has been a long-time favorite of mine. The mp3 I downloaded years ago was encoded with the record spinning at a faster pace, and it was only like 3 minutes long. I'll have to be getting this from The Bastards.

yeah, I heard the first one at a friend's house years ago - cool record. I was of course under the influence of "perception enhancing/altering material" so YMMV.

There was another one he did with Don Pullen and a bunch of other good names. I bought it at a flea market for about 80 cents. Totally dull IMHO.
