It was Mtume who gave Herbie's band Swahili names. Not sure if Joe was there for that or not.

Love the picture. After BN viz WB it was Joe on Fat Albert, then Bennie Maupin afterwards, right? Maybe a rare live date? When did Joe adopt a Swahili name?    Somwhere above this comes up, sorry for mashing numorous posts into one sloppy post.

Listening on bandcamp, it is great! Jazz Messengers has the CD but since it is coming from Spain, there will be crazy tariffs, correct?

A must read, JSngry asked me earlier if I read it. Sobering. Art just says, yeah, I was smacked up and did some f'ed up shit.  

French label is going to release a Larry Coryell live gig from 1976. I'm not sure, what is it gonna be like, but the track list suggests we will have 3 acoustic tracks (I guess duets, as there is another guitar player in credits) and the rest is the final incarnation of Eleventh House.  We've got only vague samples, one below on YouTube, and a peculiar one on Facebook, where someone is struggling with taking off the seal (also it looks like the vinyl jacket is pretty thin). No CD announced, sadly.   Previously unreleased, this incandescent live performance by Larry Coryell, recorded on July 24, 1976, at the Riviera '76 on the Paul Ricard circuit at Le Castellet – a legendary Formula 1 Grand Prix venue – has resurfaced from the INA archives. Conceived by Michael Lang (co-founder of Woodstock), the festival aimed high. Coryell unleashed a dizzying fusion of Hendrix and Coltrane. Smoky amps, mystical tension, collective trance. Fully remastered, this rare document captures the raw power of a timeless moment. CRYSTAL CLEAR VINYL, LIMITED TO  3,000 COPIES  WORLDWIDE.   https://www.facebook.com/reel/824860567051044/
