Here is a 12 minute short film called "Street Music" comprising footage from a February 19, 1973 session intended for release as Chaos on Survival Records. Was anyone aware of this session, or has anyone heard it?

Selene Fung, koto
Jeanne Lee, voice
Duncan Lawson, piano; vibes
Ali, congas; flute; percussion
Juma Sultan, bass; percussion
Billy Parker, drums

In-fucking-credible.

The Ali is Ali Abuwi of Aboriginal Music Society fame.

That last tune is the centerpiece on a Noah Howard ensemble bootleg I have, similar to Live at the Village Vanguard but with Richard Dunbar added and Art Lewis in Rashied Ali's place. I don't know the title of that composition but I'd guess it's from Frank's book.

Do we know who owns the rights?  One of those esoteric companies should issue it!

It was my understanding there were supposed to be more releases in the Survival archive/reissue series. I'd wonder if they have these tapes or what.

I asked HBA at Triple Point and will report back whether this one exists.

Last piece is Juma Sultan's "The Dance." Juma performs it with many different groups around this time, especially the Aboriginal Music Society. There's even a bootleg with Jimi Hendrix playing on it, at a performance from Tinker Street Cinema in Woodstock. 

If you have the name of the Noah Howard bootleg I'd love to know it!
