Recorded August 11, 1969 in Paris. Picc-A-Dilly label US edition was licensed from Actuel in the 70's and issued with an alternate cover in 1980. Music is the same as currently unavailable Actuel/BYG version: New Africa. Personnel: Alan Silva - bass; Andrew Cyrille - drums; Dave Burrell - piano; Jean Georgakarakos, Jean-Luc Young - producer; Roscoe Mitchell - saxophone [alto], flute [piccolo]; Grachan Moncur III - trombone "Also put out in Europe by the BYG and Actuel labels, this LP is fairly adventurous, featuring the originals and trombone of Grachan Moncur III. He matches ideas with altoist Roscoe Mitchell, pianist Dave Burrell, bassist Alan Silva, drummer Andrew Cyrille and (on one of the four pieces) his former boss, tenor saxophonist Archie Shepp. Three of the selections are a bit reminiscent of the John Coltrane Quartet in their modality, but it is during the four movements of the continuous 'New Africa' that Moncur can be heard at his dynamic best." --Scott Yanow/AllMusic
