Alternate Spaces is an album led by bassist Cecil McBee recorded in 1977 and first released on the Japanese Bomba label, after which it was reissued on India Navigation.

In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated "The often melodic but unpredictable music definitely holds one's interest".
JazzTimes writer Bill Shoemaker observed "McBee's program of boldly lined cookers, poignant ballads, and daring structural statements, elicit consistently strong work from Freeman, Pullen, Moye, trumpeter Joe Gardner, and drummer Allen Nelson. As a soloist, McBee nails everything from fleet blues choruses to wistful lyricism" - Wikipedia

#NowPlaying Chico Freeman - Kings Of Mali (India Navigation/Paddle Wheel, Japan 1980).

To my knowledge, only two pressings of this wonderful record exist : the 1978 US pressing and this 1980 Japanese one.

It's a pity it hasn't been reissued yet.

With Jay Hoggard, Cecil McBee, Anthony Davis & Famoudou Don Moye.
