If you know Sheila I think you’ll like this – a lot. If not, this is a good introduction to her life and work.
She makes a reference to having Native American ancestry. She was Cherokee on her mother’s side.

A rare live recording of Dave Holland’s first and most experimental quartet.
Featuring the wildly creative frontline of Sam Rivers (on flute) and Anthony Braxton (who plays clarinet, bass saxophone, and alto saxophone in this clip). Barry Altschul ties everything together with drums and percussion.
Plus some “psychedelic” 1974 video editing.
