This is ripped from the cassette tape which records original version issued by Universal Justice label. Later, Muse label issued this as P'unk J'zz. In order And title order is changed, namely, Jacki Bee Tee is A2, and Concere Ntasiah is B1.

I found out Muse ver is uploaded. But, in that file, scratch tone continues, which would give disturbance to a listner with
headphone. So I up again this which does not have scratch tone in interrupting level, though sound quality is not ideal as ripped
from the cassette tape, because this is excelent work in spiritual jazz.

This is the final of series of JCOA with solo leader. This time, leader is Leroy Jenkins.

Sounds like middle period of Stravinsky's orchestral music. Very skillful, taste of modern classic music, rather than jazz.

Side B is series of solos by each instrument and player. This is very unique.

Written By - Luther Thomas

Reissue Producer - John Corbett

I think this is very rare item of Human Arts Ensemble. Luther Thomas takes leader initiative. But different from
"Funkey Donkey", this is more abstract form than funk music.

Human Arts Ensemble starts in AACM style performance in begining time. Then their style change in soul & funk music.
I think this is interesting record to show their way to change, though quality of music would not be high enough their other issued albums.

Frank Lowe - Fresh

Frank Lowe: tenor saxophone
Lester Bowie: trumpet
Joseph Bowie: trombone
Abdul Wadud: cello
Steve Reid: drums
Charles Bobo Shaw: drums
+ The Memphis Four

The emphasis is on color and sound on this spirited avant-garde album. Four of the five selections feature the adventurous tenor of Frank Lowe with trumpeter Lester Bowie, trombonist Joseph Bowie, cellist Abdul Wadud and either Steve Reid or Bob Shaw on drums. They perform two Lowe originals and two pieces by Thelonious Monk; these renditions are full of surprises and contrasts. In addition, Lowe is heard with an unknown group of local musicians called "the Memphis Four" on "Chu's Blues" in 1974. Open-eared listeners should find this set to be quite stimulating. (from AMG)
