More sads news, as reported by Roger over on AAJ..

Guardian Obit

I wasn't aware of the fact that he'd met Parker and Monk but was aware of his 1960s albums recorded for Dennis Preston in the UK and also his work with The Duke.

'Emergent Drums' (Columbia)

'Afro Jazz' (Regal Zonophone?)

'The African Zoundz of Guy Warren of Ghana' (Regal Zonophone)

With Rendell/Carr - 'Change Is' (Columbia)

Guy Warren recorded two library albums for KPM:  Native Africa 1 and Native Africa 2.  Both of these are available as lossless downloads from Qobuz.  I may have to get these.

I have his African Drums RCA LP and also Africa Speaks, America Answers on Decca.

HIs other Decca album African Rhythms is very hard to find.  

I don't have any of those UK albums that were referenced earlier.
