Here's one of my biggest revelations of 2025. I was familiar with some of the musicians involved but not this particular group. They only released one album, and it's a beauty! Includes covers of Don Cherry, Ornette Coleman.
Check out tracks: 8 Limited, Thumbs Up, Babar.

It's OK, fairly straight ahead.
I see your point- I think he was traveling a lot, raising a family, living in Sweden. He had a few LPs that only were available in Sweden for many years. Labels rejected many his ideas. He had a very hard time with "Home Boy, Sister Out," only came out in France

It's all good, I'm glad you listen and enjoy the program!
Another big influence was "The Afrosound Of Colombia Volume 1" featuring music from the Discos Fuentes label, some of which I used to be able to find here in Arizona, I'm just 60 miles from Mexico.

😎🙏It grew naturally out of wanting to learn more about all aspects of Jazz. In the late 1990s I was going to a record store that had a Latin Jazz section, they were super cheap, so I could buy a lot. Then I found Lalo Schifrin, then I read "Latin Jazz: The 1st of the Fusions" by John Storm Roberts
