Me too, much more than the concurrent studio releases.   Nathan Davis!  Also noticed that Alphonse Mouzon performed a set that year.  Wonder if that is worth release?

I sampled a few tracks streaming. And actually, my friend got it for me for Christmas and I cheated, opened and played it and it's quite good. Surprisingly so. "Kwame" is my favorite cut. Have any of these Byrd originals presented here circulated before? Now the question is if they will reissue the Hutcherson, Foster and other associated titles physically so new audiences can check them out? Might have to write up on this one

I guess all of those Mizell issues are being re-released.

Donald Byrd live:

Second volume was issued of the first two. The last one was the co-led Byrd/Adams group.

Also to add in the mix there was a radio dub (not "released") but recorded on WBCN Boston 1973-09-04 - cracking tracks see attached
