I wouldn't doubt it. He was VERY involved in the theatre. Was a playwrite and put on productions in Neward from my understanding. Also wrote poems. Always wrote the liner notes on his LPs which were very beautiful. Also did some recitation on some of his albums. I'd love to hear this.

I have that record and it doesn't look like him on the back cover... at least compared to the BNs I have.

It's not a bad LP, though.

Bob Reid wasn't a BAG cat, either. He was from Alabama and lived in Paris from the late '60s. Played bass with Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, Byard Lancaster et al.

Thanks Clifford. Yeah, even though he's the leader, I wasn't referring to Bob Reid. I should have specified. Oliver Lake's name was the one that caught my eye for the BAG association.
