  1. Always a pleasure checking make sure my MusicHertz. This is one I've never heard of or read about until a few minutes ago. Will be listening shortly and will direct my ears to Selection 4 & 5 to hear Umar - a voice that should be heard more often. I see that, at that same time, they were, at least in NY, working with Maceo. What it must be like just to be in those studios when Laswell and (pick some of the musicians he has and does work with regularly on different projects) others are creating their musics. Thanks for giving us the chance to hear some of their creations. Many thanks for the music and your efforts
