Freedom Of Speech 180gr LP

Billy Parker (dr); Cecil McBee (b, v); Donald Smith (p, voc); Dee Dee Bridgewater (voc); Ronald Bridgewater (ts); Cecil Bridgewater (tp)

Most of the musicians who gathered to record this
fantastic spiritual jazz record for the
Strata-East label on May 24th, 1974 had crossed
each other's paths in various musical pairings
over the preceding few years. Husband and wife
team Dee Dee Bridgewater (vocals) and Cecil
Bridgewater (trumpet) had been working together on
albums like Frank Foster's 'Loud Minority', and
Roy Ayers' 'Coffy' and 'Virgo Red'. Ten weeks
before the 'Freedom Of Speech' session, the couple
had been joined in Tokyo by Cecil's brother
Ronald Bridgewater (tenor saxaphone) to record Dee
Dee's debut album, the beautiful 'Afro Blue'.
Also in the studio on May 24th, 1974 was Donald
Smith, (piano, vocals), fresh from recording on
his older brother Lonnie Liston Smith's 'Cosmic
Funk' - on which Ronald Bridgewater had also
played percussion. Cecil McBee (bass) was also
there - just two weeks before, he'd completed his
own Strata East date 'Mutima', and in February
he'd played on Mtume's 'Rebirth Cycle' - with both
albums also featuring Dee Dee Bridgewater on
vocals. He'd also played on Lonnie Liston Smith's
'Astral Travelling'.
So 1974 was a huge year for all five of these
people. Donald Smith and Cecil McBee were six
months away from recording on Lonnie Liston
Smith's massive 'Expansions', with McBee fitting
in a few Pharoah Sanders albums in between.
AND THEN, THE MYSTERY ... So with all this fervent
activity, the question has to be asked ...Who was
Billy Earl Parker Jr (drums), the leader of this
session?
Billy Parker remains unlisted as a musician on all
major jazz sites. His only other recording
appears to be as a percussionist on Charles
Tolliver's 'Impact' in 1975. Then there's nothing
...
