👍 - as a CD on my shelf. Saw him twice live in a duo with Gunter Hampel in Göttingen and with William Parker in Bydgoszcz.

Sweet album. I saw Bang and Lowe with the Vietnam large ensemble at the Vision Festival in 2001. I might've seen Bang one other time, but that occasion certainly sticks out.

The Impact of Brass - Down at the Brass Works (Rare Earth)

This is Motown's take on the Now Sound, and they got it pretty right, especially when they break out the electric sitar!

[Teasing the Korean]

Next up:

Another Motown Now Sound album:

The Jerry Ross Symposium, Vol. 2 (Motown)

The previous album on Rare Earth had a brassier, heavier "rock" sound, kind of like Mandingo, the Incredible Bongo Band, or a 70s Wide World of Sports bumper.

This album, by contrast, is gentler, and alternately sounds like the score to a 70s made-for-TV movie or an in-store tape that would have been played at K-Mart or Zayre. 

The unexpected highlight so far is Morricone's theme to Duck You, Sucker.

My copy does not credit any of the musicians, but they do credit the arrangers.
