The Forest and the Zoo is an album by Steve Lacy. It was released by ESP.

The music comes from a concert in Argentina.[2] The quartet is made up of Lacy on soprano saxophone, Enrico Rava on trumpet, Johnny Dyani on bass, and Louis Moholo on drums.

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3½ stars stating "This is not normally considered an essential part of Lacy's very large catalog, but in the 21st century it does deserve to be heartily and critically reexamined. The cover painting by the late artist Bob Thompson makes the set worth owning simply for its beauty. ".[2] An All About Jazz reviewer concluded: "Rather than the liberating spirituality sought after in so much free jazz Lacy's unit remains light-hearted and whimsical, even as it soars above the ground below."

Very Urgent is an album by the Chris McGregor Group, led by pianist McGregor, and featuring saxophonists Ronnie Beer and Dudu Pukwana, trumpeter Mongezi Feza, bassist Johnny Dyani, and drummer Louis Moholo. It was recorded at Sound Techniques in London, and was released on LP by Polydor Records in 1968.

In a review for The Guardian, John Fordham wrote: "In its unrelenting collective intensity, this set might surprise a few John Zorn admirers in being this far out, this far back... This was a world-class free-band, and it's great to have the evidence back." - Wikipedia
