UNi LP, 1968

1 elements of now
2 low gravy
3 lady mack
4 la de da
5 come on and get it baby
6 burundi pose

big black, caiphus semenya, herman riley, curtis peagler, howard johnson, ray draper, charles mallory, lesley hargrove, more

less special, i think, than lion walk, but still cool. a super brass-heavy latin-soul album with hi-lifey african flourishes courtesy, i'm guessing, of caiphus semenya (from hugh masekela's band, a uni labelmate). "burundi pose" could pass for a lost sun ra track.
