The audio section has two performances from this date. We have yet to be able to sync any of the audio with this film.
As noted in the audio segment, while we are sure of the roles of Earl Cross and James Blood Ulmer in this performance, we are unsure about who is on bass and who is on sax. John Dana played bass and Bob Ralston was on sax for a Survival Records recording that is contemporary with this performance. The bassist on this recording may be John Dana. We have not identified the sax player.
NOTE: A visitor to the website has reported to us that the alto player is Kalaparusha Maurice McIntrye, one of the original members of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians).
The Rashied Ali Quintet recorded albums on Rashied Ali’s own Survival Records, a few of which were reissued in 2000 on Knit Classics. These were
- Quintet
