Too bad because he has some amazing albums.

Currently listening to:
Billy Bang Quintet Featuring Frank Lowe ‎– Above & Beyond: An Evening In Grand Rapids

https://open.spotify.com/album/5vkDqYF9IM3fg6CmWgRqD0

It's far from smooth jazz but this should be very listenable even for people who aren't into avantgarde jazz.
Not to say that there aren't some delicous dissonant flourishes here and there keeping it interesting.
This album is also a farewell to the great sax player Frank Lowe who died from lung cancer not long after this concert.
He sounds great here and you'd never guess that this is the playing of a dying man with just one lung left.
Recommended for pretty much everybody here who likes jazz.

He was also a radical af black revolutionary. He was in the American War of Aggression against the Vietnamese when he found Marxist literature that stated “Black GI This is not you war Go Home” and when he finally did get back to the so called United States he read Mao’s Red Book and then used his military training to pick out and purchase guns (mostly pistols) for underground black revolutionary marxists but he did not identify which specific organization by name in any interviews.
