Excellent work from trombonist Grachan Moncur III, famous for his 60´s work on Blue Note and with Archie Shepp, sounding as great here as he did on those recordings!! The session features Moncur hitting an Archie Shepp-ish, spiritual vein in his playing, recorded in Paris with a group that includes Shepp, Roscoe Mitchell, Dave Burrell, and Andrew Cyrille. Side one's mostly the long suite "New Africa", but it also includes the great composition "Space Spy", and side two features the tracks "When" and "Exploration". The whole album's incredible, much more soulful than some of Moncur's "new thing" recordings, and equally compelling!!Tracklisting:
1. New Africa
2. Space Spy
3. Exploration
4. When
