The Abdullah Ibrahim is not too bad, price wise ($59-69, a bargain these days).
(The Shakti, not inexpensive ($59-149)-NJPAC is a pretty big place, I'd need to go for the tix in the $129-149 range, which ain't cheap (and tickets are going, not that many orchestra tickets left, still tickets in the other levels. I went to see Wayne Shorter in the cheap seats a while back, don't think it's worth it, see small figures on a stage...)

This one is a classic, NGH. The presence of Dolphy alone would make it of interest, but add in Freddie Hubbard, Bill Evans, Roy Haynes, and some of Nelson's greatest compositions... It's a keeper.

I need help from the hive mind! (Doctorj, where are you when we need you??) Is there a John Coltrane song called Nigeria? I have the memory of a vocalist doing that, and I thought it was by Coltrane. However, I can't find such a song, and now I wonder whether it was based on the melody of Africa, which we heard earlier, and retitled. HELP!
