Cecil McBee
![Swayze](https://community.soulstrut.com/uploads/useravat/n7.png)
I???m really into three of Cecil McBee???s LPs as a leader.Mutima[/b] on Strata East
Music From The Source[/b] on Enja
Compassion[/b] on Enja
I think he???s a great arranger as well as a technical bass player. Was just wondering what you guys think of his music? Also does anyone know what his two LPs on India Navigation are like or his recent relase from the ???90s? And what is he like on other peoples releases only notable things I can think of him featuring on is Pharoah Sanders ???Thembi??? and Norman Connors ???Dark of The Light???, although I know he is on some Dollar Brand, Hal Garper, and Chico Freeman stuff.Thanks

Here are a few more albums he's on, from pretty common to obscure. The muse titles are really slept-on IMHO.
Woody shaw - "love dance" (muse)
Roy Brooks - "free slave" (muse)
Joe Chambers - "the almoravid" (muse)
Chico Freeman - "kinds of mali" (india navigation)
Pharoah Sanders - "Black Unity" (impulse)
Pharoah Sanders - "izipho zam" (strata-east)
Mtume - "rebirth cycle" (3rd st.)
Jothan Callins - "winds of change" (triumph)
Chico Freeman "Spirit Sensitive" is another killer on India Navigation
I just cracked open a sealed copy of this last week that I was on the fence about selling or keeping. It's great. I'm glad I kept it. I'll have to keep an eye out for the others you posted.
