| Miles Davis | New York Girl | On the Corner | Legacy | From "On the Corner"-- the Miles' controversial 1972 album | 0:04:50 (Real | ) |
| Miles Davis | Thinkin' One Thing And Doin' Another | On the Corner | Legacy | The music just flows together; this tune and the one before are actually part of a longer "suite" of 20 minutes or so-- broken up to make the album more marketable. It's all one piece on the 6-CD box of the "On the Corner" sessions released on Legacy two years ago. | 0:10:30 (Real | ) |
| Miles Davis | Black Satin | On the Corner | Legacy | Some say this is the only "melodic" piece from the session; listen to Badal on tabla, opening and closing the song! | 0:12:51 (Real | ) |

| Ornette Coleman & Prime Time | La Capella | Tone Dialing | Verve | Badal & Kenny were members of Prime Time-- Ornette's band in the 90s-- and they can be heard on the one album that got issued: "Tone Dialing" on Verve | 0:37:35 (Real | ) |
| World Saxophone Quartet | Dou Dou N'Daiye Rose | Four Now | Justin Time | Four American sax players plus three African drummers collaborate on "Four Now" (Justin Time, 1996) | 0:46:50 (Real | ) |
| Victor Olaiya's All Stars Soul International | Let Yourself Go/There Was a Time | Highlife | Vampisoul | Listed as separate tracks, they are obviously a blend. Recorded in 1970, this amazing Highlife album was just issued on CD by Vampisoul | 0:55:30 (Real | ) |

| Wadadli Experience | We See Jah | Calypsoul 70: Caribbean Soul & Calypso Crossover 1969-1979 | Strut | Not Latin but from the Americas, Antigua in this case. From "Calypsoul 70: Caribbean Sould & Calypso Crossover 1969-1979" (Strut, 2008) | 1:23:52 (Real | ) |

| Prez Prado | St. James Infirmary | Six All Time Greats (vinyl)/ Voodoo Suite (CD) | Bear Family | The scratchy vinyl album is called "Six All Time Greats" but the CD is more marketably called "Voodoo Suite" (Bear Family, 1990). And, sadly, the record skipped and we had to switch to CD. | 1:53:49 (Real | ) |
| Kermit Ruffin | Kermit's Second Line | Kermit's Second Line | Justice Records/Fontana | Kermit was teenager when he helped found the Rebirth Brass Band; now he is a New Orleans character: trumpeter and bbq chef. Cool dude. | 2:06:14 (Real | ) |
