Herbie Hancock - Traces

[Peter Johnson]

Hey folks.

Just picked this one up today--it's a 3-song record on Upfront records (UPF-194). It contains, on side A, Maulana (by HH/Mtume), 13:21; on side B, Dunia (by ?/Kuumba), 8:33 and Kamila (by HH/Mtume), 5:50. No personnel listed, other than the recording engineer (Tom Owen), assistant engineed (Larry Walker) and art director (David Lartaud).

The jacket says "These Recordings Have Been Previously Released." Oh yeah? Where???!!!

Sound/recording quality is fair.

Does anyone know what this is? Kari??? Help!

Thanks!

This is a bootleg which has three songs from Albert Heath's "Kawaida". This record

is to be avoided because of poor sound quality.

Thanks, Claude. After a listen, I started wondering if it was a bootleg of some kind.

Off to look for the original. The music is great, and look at the lineup:

Don Cherry - Trumpet

Herbie Hancock - Piano

Jimmy Heath - Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor)

Ed Blackwell - Percussion

Billy Bonner - Flute, Percussion

Albert "Tootie" Heath - Drums

James Mtume - Conga

Buster Williams - Bass

(from allmusic's listing of Kawaida)

I don't known if my previous post it is saved so I repeat my question:

were Kawaida was recorded? New York City? New Jersey?

The recording location of that session was not documented. The Lord Discography says New York, but that's unconfirmed.

There were five tracks recorded, btw.

Maulana

Kawaida

Dunia

Kamili

Thank you for the answer. I choosed New Jersey for Amiri Baraka collaboration, but withoth any other reason. On kamili Don Cherry doesn't plays (you must known if I'm a very Don' passonate)
