Guglielmo,track B3 "Vamos Para Casa For Mingus" is there, it just goes togheter with the previous.
I dont digitalise myself, I have not the equipment; a freind do it for me and this is as it came. I forgot to split it, maybe needs also a slight declick, but this is up to you. I hope you enjoy it anyway

I did not download this, but was intrigued to see Nat Adderley Jr on piano, son of the famed trumpeter!

Great! The link is still working, I was not sure of it. The album seems to be very interesting. After a first listen it is more than interesting, it is really a great one, a sort of mix between world influences and a.a..m thanks thanks thanks And for those who want to listen more about Andrews you can check Wadada Leo Smith's Divine Love album, very different than this lp.

Glad to see this link is still active. Thank you, corvimax! sounds like this is in the same headspace as his work with Wadada Leo Smith -- sounds great to me!
