Session 6, 20.07.1968, Antibes Jazz Festival,

There are some problems with the statement of the real dates of original recordings from this time. This especially concerns the 20 July and 22 July performances.
The tape circulating as Antibes 68 or Antibes 20 July 68 of over 100 min. lenght is in fact a combination of 21 and 24 July performances.
There are 2 other shorter tapes (about 45 min each) with the dates 20 or 22 July. The first tape of quiet poor quality consists of 2 longer fragments - the first one comes from the french radio transmission and is a quartet recording with Lonnie Liston Smith jr on piano, Norris Jones (Sirone) on bass and Majeed Shabazz on drums. This is just a fragment of a longer performance and the titles played by the group are Venus and Creator. The second part is much longer (ca 37 min) - a quintet performance with the musicians mentioned above + a bongo player.
This 37 min. fragment + closing announcement and applause is also the main part of the second tape of a much better quality. This tape has also an additional shorter fragment different than this one on the first tape but also played in quartet. Consequently - it seems we have here to do with 2 different performances. If the dates given below are correct? I don't know. Maybe this question finds its answer someday ;)

Released as The Latin Jazz Quintet - Oh! Pharoah Speak - Trip 8008

There is another issue of this record with only 6 songs - Spotlight on Pharoah Sanders with Latin Jazz Quintet - Upfront 150

The exact date is unknown. The Latin Jazz Quintet with Juan Amalbert as a leader is the same Latin Jazz Quintet that recorded 2 dates with Dolphy in the beginning of the 60s. And this sound!! It's a very large quintet, of course.
