I remember when Mulgrew toured that album - no Henderson and McBride but Nelson was in the lineup as well as Wallace Roney. Good stuff.

I forgot to mention Eddie Henderson. Wallace Roney would be a fine replacement!

Life-changing album for me. I knew about The Lion but not about Luckey.

That LP was my introduction to Luckey Roberts. It is a shame that he did relatively little recording as a solo pianist.

Thanks be it was so well-recorded by David B. Hancock. Unless I'm mistaken, not too many pianists of this style and vintage had the good fortune to be captured with such fidelity when they were still in their prime, as  Luckey seems to me to be here at age 65. And what a composer as well as player he was! Check out the very modern "Inner Space," for one -- there's a forecast of Monk in there -- (unfortunately "Inner Space" doesn't seem to be on You Tube), "Railroad Blues," and  the dazzling "Nothin'"

I agree that the recording quality and performances are outstanding.

Jeanne Lee - Conspiracy 

Gunter Hampel - The 8th of July 1969

There are so many interconnected records from 1969 by players like Gunter Hampel, Marion Brown and Jeanne Lee. Did they form a touring group along the lines of Archie Shepp's North African visit group, the AEC, Frank Wright or CCC? Or was it just chance and chemistry that led them to record so many together?
