"Freedom Jazz Dance"!!!!!!! Eddie Harris me-thinks, originally, covered by many. Or, Miles???

Song credit on the label lists Auger and two others. Could the Oblivion Express version be the original?!?

CRAP! More happy homework... According to THE INTERNET... ;^? Looks like originally from Eddie Harris, 'The In Sound' (1965). MUSIC NERDS UNITE! Does anyone have a for-sure answer?! Anyhow, COOL TRACK.

Musical Mystery. Took another at the record. Also lists a Harris which I guess would be Eddie. Perhaps Brian added his own name since it's not a straight cover? Does the original have vocals? Ligertwood also listed as a writer...

oh no, not pb again
Seems right. But yeah. Happy homework... Unless some mega-nerd chimes in and can inform us. (Professor Mike, are you out there?? ;^)
