Gary Bartz Ntu Troop - Harlem Bush Music Uhuru




Alto and Soprano Sax player Gary Bartz (born 1940 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA) played in the sixties with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Charles Mingus, Max Roach and Abbey Lincoln.
In 1970, when he also played with Miles Davis´ new electric band, he formed his own Ntu Troop ensemble. The group got its name from the Bantu language: NTU means unity in all things, time and space, living and dead, seen and unseen. 
Anyway, the music is more than ok! Track #2 is one of my favourites. It swings like hell. 
This album is from 1971.
