Donor notes: Mailed to Juma by Jerry Moore, April 2011. No info on tape,all IDs done by ear. 1/4 track stereo, rec on both sides. Side 1 heads out. Juma remembers this happening at his home at 335 3rd. A kitchenette, across the street from Richie Have ns' studio where Juma built drums. Predecessor to Ode to Gypsy Sun, built on Mohammedan scale. Side 2 is duo of Pharoah and Juma at the same apartment on 3rd street. Brian Ross plays piccolo. Juma remembers this happening before Coltrane died, while Pharoah was still playing with Coltrane. Prime example of Ross trying to blow down the better known Snders. Juma remembers this as a common occurrence, which led to players thinking Ross was disrespectful. Juma switches to bass around minute 8. Second tune on side 2 seems to be a composition, worked on by Pharoah.
Performance Location: 335 3rd Street, NY
