Thank you @sonnymax.

Yes, not Greenwich. I do not recognize the drummer either, but this was definitely taken at the Algerian War movie soundtrack recording session

I think Hank Mobley, in one of his extremly rare interviews, he must have been very reclusive personality and a lowner, I asume, and he mentioned something about a movie soundtrec about the Algerian War. I had not known that Mobley, who wrote some very fine and slick tunes for combo instrumentation, would do such a programatic opus. That would fit more to Mingus, like his soundtracks for Todo Modo and for some thing about drug contrabanda from Colubia to NY. 

But 1970 sure was not good year for Mobley anymore. I think he was right into his beginning respiratory problems. On the "Thinkin about home" which is loved by many, I tracked an evident lack of breath, his lung problems had started. He would not every again find his way back.....

Bwahaha!

And gents I wasn't counting strings just going off the fact that there were strings and he was demonstrably not George Benson.
