notes

Recorded at Decca Studios, New York City : tracks 1 to 7, November 19-20, 1970 & tracks 8 to 12, November 1970 and January 1971.

CD-reissue of the two Harlem Bush Music LPs.
"Blue (A Folk tale)" has been edited down by two minutes in order to enable us to fit these 2 LP's on 1 CD.

Originally released on Milestone as 9031 and 9032. "The music of both volumes of Harlem Bush Music (Taifa and Uhuru) is humbly dedicated, respectively, to the memories of Malcolm X and John Coltrane."
- Gary Bartz
