Harlem Bush Music
Harlem Bush Music is a compilation of two albums by saxophonist Gary Bartz NTU Troop which were recorded in 1970 and 1971 and released on the Milestone label. Reception. Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. of Allmusic said "How one finally looks at "Harlem Bush Music" -- is it music, politics, or something in between -- matters less than understanding the time and place that it was made. And whether one ultimately finds these efforts by the Gary Bartz Ntu Troop satisfying or tiring matters less than appreciating the adventurous spirit that went into making them". All About Jazz stated ""Harlem  Bush Music" remains extremely relevant. Though the album came at a time when Black Consciousness and Black Pride were coming to the fore of American culture, current times are such that its message of struggle, love and hope transcends racial categories. That is both a great testament to the power of this music, as well as to the dawning fact in this country that we're all in this together". Track listing.
