He played on hundreds of albums after the Mwandishi sextet, and always delivered! 

No doubt ....

Enchance. I got it wrong then, I get it wrong still. But either way it's a great record.

I hope it made the 70s blog.

... my copy - signed!

Horizon was a great label until, as the story goes, Quincy Jones heard the Revolutionary Ensemble record, took it to Herb Albert and asked him why he was putting money into THIS shit, after which, things got weird..

And then 15 years later, Quincy lets Sonny Simmons record that great album on Qwest.  Penance?

Who knows?

yep, two on Qwest in fact. There was slated to be a third but it didn't come to pass.

"Ancient Ritual" with some great playing by Charnett Moffett ....

I liked the second one OK, but thought it was a letdown compared to 'Ancient Ritual'.

Ancient Ritual is an all-time great record.

John Snyder then purchased a clockwork and put the Revolutionary Ensemble  disc on the face, took it to Jerry Moss and said maybe we can sell them as clocks. He was shown the door.

Time for someone to reissue more of those Horizon titles.  I especially would appreciate the Sonny Fortune and Jones-Lewis albums on CD.mol

I'd take the Haden duets and the Ira Sullivan.

There were 2 Haden duet records. The first with Alice Coltrane, Ornette, Jarrett and Paul Motian, the second with Cherry, Shepp, Ornette and Hamp Hawes.

I'm happy to own both of those.

BTW, as great as Sonny Simmons’ Ancient Ritual is — I think I’ve seen maybe 8-10 cd copies out in the wild over the years, and I think 100% of them had promo stamps on the cover and/or the disc. Seriously!

What’s up with that?? 

[JSngry]

Write-offs for Quincy Jones?
