groundhog day ('citizens of the world... it's time for world peace')

groundhog day is celebrated annually on february 2nd, with punxsutawney phil. 

horsemouth will let you know how it goes. 

horsemouth has come across some footage of the lonnie liston smith sextet with reggie workman on double bass performing mysteries of blue, on the rooftops of new york, 1973. (there's also footage of noah howard and the sam rivers trio)

george barron on soprano (a lonnie liston smith regular), lawrence killian on percussion (a pharoah sanders regular also), alan nelson, drums, and an unnamed percussionist.

free jazz alto saxophonist noah howard looks on. (noah howard is an sun ra and archie shepp connection, lived in paris for a while, on esp etc.). 

george barron plays sax on lonnie liston smith's version of astral travelling and the album cosmic funk.

'citizens of the world... it's time for world peace'

in groundhog day (the movie) andi mcdowell's preferred toast when drinking is 'world peace'. 

there's some good quality screaming on this record. but on the whole it's a bit too soul jazz  for horsemouth. (ok fairplay sais (egypt) is rocking).  every second track is great.
