Kamal Abdul Alim - Trumpet ; James Spaulding - Alto & Flute ; Bobby Watson - Alto & Soprano ; Ron Burton - Piano ; Sabu Adeyola - Bass ; Idris Muhammad - Drums ; Abdul Wali - Guitar ; Abdus Saboor - Percussion. Another first time out in blogland for this great set from Kamal and the Brothers.And what a band of brothers they were with Idris Muhammed holding down the rhythm section joined by ex Roland Kirk pianist Ron Burton and the Spaulding-Watson-Alim frontline horns. "Brotherhood" was the thumpin' spinner way back when and made it onto a couple of comps however don't make the mistake of ignoring the rest of the lp as it's a complete cracker ranging from afro inspired jazz to some nifty modal styled tunes.
