Cossi Anatz ‎– Jazz Afro-Occitan

Extremely hard to find free/spiritual jazz album recorded in the South of France and released on Vendémiaire (Jef Gilson's label) with a similar style to Francois Tusques Intercommunal. Jazz Afro-occitan is written on the cover and it's clearly the case when you put the needle on wax you instantly feel the North African, Arabic & Mediterranean influences, that are quite obvious here, especially in the brass & percussions. Some brilliant tracks like the beautiful deep jazz Al Coltrane or the monster spiritual oriental jazz Aden Arabie with great Fender solo.

Carl B. Stokes / Oliver Nelson ‎– The Mayor And The People (1970)

 An incredibly interesting record – and more of a spoken album than a jazz one, but it shares some great jazz work by Oliver Nelson too! The album's a loving tribute to Carl B. Stokes, the first black mayor of a major American city (Cleveland) – and it's one of the strongest in a series of African-American culture albums by the Flying Dutchman label at the time. Side one of the record features a press conference with Stokes, in which he outlines his ideas for revitalizing the Cleveland area. But even better is side two – which features a beautiful original composition by Nelson, entitled "A Black Suite For String Quartet & Jazz Orchestra", and which features recitations by Stokes of material by Langston Hughes and Gil Scott-Heron. The whole thing's great – extremely powerful and progressive, with tracks that include "Paint It Black", "I Too Sing America", "Mother To Son", "Sit Down", and "I Dream A World".

 Tracklist

A	The Mayor And The People Press Conference	26:20
BA	A Black Suite For String Quartet And Jazz Orchestra  (A) Take This Hammer	17:47
BB	(B) Precious Lord
