I wonder if folks are more familiar with the slicker work from these groups and forget about the woolly and more adventurous early sides? Doug W's Kozmigroov list offers some good leads, though this music is still awaiting a full-scale reconsideration. Personally I find there are killer tracks here and there, but whole albums rarely hit the mark. But maybe I've missed some of the best? I'd totally overlooked the South American numbers on that Shepp record for instance. That’s an excellent point about South American / jazz fusion crossovers.

Curious what you'd make of it. The rest of the album isn’t quite as fucked, but it’s still fascinating. Curious what you’d make of it.

And there's a really jarring splice during Guizos. There's a video I can't seem to find of him going totally Rahsaan-like crazy on percussion and keyboards and others where he plays soprano. My favorite, though, features him with a group playing percussion patterns on the surface of the water in a beautiful river or lake.
