Hey , has any one herd of the Saxophonist Byard Lancaster ? He was a sidemen for Drummer Sunny Murray on an album on ESP-DISK ( I haven't herd it yet but I know its some pretty wild stuff ). He also made some fine recordings of his own in France around the early ' 70's where he first utilized his " A Love Supreme meets the Sex Machine" idea . His album Funny Funky Rib Crib is just that funk and danceable but is still pretty avant garde. Does any body know of any other albums by him ?
Byard Lancaster recorded several albums under his own name and was a sideman on many other fine recordings.
short list:
Byard Lancaster - Documentation - The End of a Decade (1979) Byard Lancaster - Philadelphia Spirit in New York (2001) Byard Lancaster - Worlds (1993) Byard Lancaster and Clint Jackson III - Mother Africa (1974) Byard Lancaster Trio - Byard Lancaster Trio (Soultrane 1999)
