first recording would probably be before 1974.

the style sounds like early 70's blue note/CTI/Hank Crawford tune?

since metheny likes ornette coleman, maybe they
are coleman tunes?
4
1950's?
5
Joe Diorio guitar and probably Attila Zoller guitar.
sounds a bit like diorio's
"Talla Sunshine - Naima Rainbow, Dance for Their Father",
but it's not the same tune.

only the 1950's? tune was definitely released on a record, which is heard here. it's possible that the other tunes were never recorded by anybody.

thank you

Just looked at the sleeve of the Ray Charles LP. It's a song by Percy Mayfield. As far as I know, Percy never recorded it, so it was probably written for the session, which was about 1964/5.

I think Percy was on a retainer as Ray's writer in residence.

After the success of Percy's "Hit the Road Jack" Ray contracted Percy to write for him 20 songs a year for 5 years or so. He also had Percy writing songs for him in later years. The Mayfield songs that Ray recorded for Atlantic preceded that contract.
