IMAMU AMIRI BARAKA (et al) - It's Nation Time - African Visionary Music (Side One) - 1972, Black Forum / Motown
Details of the backing musicians and vocalists on the respective tracks on It's Nation Time - African Visionary Music can be viewed on Discogs:
https://www.discogs.com/release/1420740-Imamu-Amiri-Baraka-Its-Nation-Time-African-Visionary-Music
Musicians include: Idries Muhammad (dms), Lonnie Smith (pno), Gary Bartz (sx), Reggie Workman (bs).
I intended to play the LP in its entirety, based on information on the label and on the Discogs page that both sides clocked at 19:43, meaning 39:16 total time. Turns out the total duration is 53+ minutes so there was insufficient time to play Side 2, which I will play at the beginning of next week's show.

Only a half-show for me tonight: The Sadies at the 27 Club. Early start there now. D.: 7, opener: 7:30, Sadies: 8:15. I guess the disco dancing starts earlier than in old Zaphod times.
