Rashied Ali Quartet - Interview and "Ballade" - 1972


Here's another selection from the Rashied Ali Quartet show on Jazz Set. This one starts off with a brief interview in which I ask Rashied to talk about Coltrane. Then they play Ali's composition, Ballade, featuring Carlos Ward and Sirone Jones.

There is one more selection from this show still to come. I realize that they have been out of sync, so I am working on that, but it's time consuming, so please bear with me. In the meantime, just close your eyes and listen.
