Clifford Thornton: Ketchaoua Revisited + Arthur Jones Trio: Scorpio
Cosa aggiungere? Che la musica è ovunque di livello più che ragguardevole, testimonianza paradigmatica del clima (del fervore creativo, diremmo) che regnava in quei giorni, anche per l'ampiezza delle volute espositive degli otto brani (svarianti fra i sette minuti e mezzo e i tredici abbondanti), che consentiva ai musicisti di metterci dentro tanto, nello specifico (caso del resto tutt'altro che isolato) nel segno di un terzomondismo che muoveva all'epoca passi da gigante (al '69, emblematicamente, risale anche The Third World di Gato Barbieri, e c'era già stato altro).
Insomma una gran bella scorpacciata (alias ripassata) di musica con la M maiuscola (Archie Shepp con un manipolo di fedelissimi e cascami ornettiani compresi).
