3. Two Lullabies
4. Love Chant
5. Ghetto Lights

We will not go back
Nice! Love this, lost my copy years ago... how do you feel about other choir-jazz albums, for ex. Donald Byrd's "A New Perspective"? I may have to post that one soon...
ReplyDeleteThe only other one I can recall hearing is McCoy Tyner's "Inner Voices," which is awesome. You should definitely post that, I'd love to hear it.
DeleteI did not point out, last time I breezed thru, that this was another link I was having trouble with (I had already complained about 3 and was feeling too greedy)
ReplyDeleteI very much appreciate your help on all the others, but this also is an enticing looking recording (Hill with a choir? hmmm) And The Link Looks not like it works to me. "No Go Showboat"
MY BAD... "SHOWBOAT" AFTERALL, just gotta do a captcha that looks like a login catpcha but it is not.
