Too notch! 4 albums that I love but hadn’t thought about together, and will now never be able to hear without thinking of the others. This is what I’m looking for in great criticism: taking texts that I know and persuading me to hear them in a new way. *****
It doesn't effect the substance of the claims in this great article but I think Milford Graves' earliest recording is Arriba Con Montego Joe where he plays timbales- could be wrong but the session is listed as April 1964. He isn't playing free or at a kit- so your point of Motion's originality is still standing. "Arriba" is a nifty curio though- Chick Corea is on it too!
