Afro Algonquin - Live in Moers '80




















Probably much people don't know the Rozie brothers
although they have been active in creative music till
our days. For istance reedist Lee (now Mixashawn)
is a member of the great Dave Douglas' project
"Don Cherry's Symphony For Improvisers".
BTW an opportunity for listening, one more time,
to the late Rashied Ali.
The picture above is the LP's cover the trio recorded
in studio, few days later, for Moers Music (clearly OOP).

Rec. live at the "9th Moers Festival", Moers, Germany,
on May 24, 1980 (mics recording)

"Mixashawn" Lee Rozie,tenor & soprano saxophones
Edward “Rick” Rozie,bass
Rashied Ali,drums

1. Afro Algonquin/Connecticut (17:15)
2. Dog Soldier (36:12)
3. Unknown Encore (09:28)

Total Time 1:02:56

  3. Fantastic, riccardo! More Ali is always welcome, I've long enjoyed Rick Rozie's playing & you've now taken care of a long neglected item on one of my to-do-lists, which was to find out more (i.e. "something' - 'anything!') about Mixashawn, whose playing in the D Douglas band that I've heard really really appealed . . .

  4. Well, speaking of great drummers and unfindable records, I wonder if anyone has the Phillip Wilson quartet live at Moers (with Frank Lowe). Moers Records never answered my request, though the LP seems to be on their catalogue, but no cd reissue.

  14. My link from 7-9-2019 was still good. Not sure why it was re hosted and my re up post was deleted. It's still there along with many of the other Riccardo re ups I did a few years back. Cheers
