Griot Galaxy began as a trio with Daoud Abdul Khafiz (bass, sitar) and Tariq Abdul Samad (drums). I joined probably in 1974, Tani in 1977. A larger ensemble included Kafi Patrice Nasoma (flute, harp), Elrita Dodds (clarinet, bass clarinet), Sadiq Muhammed (then Sadiq Bey)(congas, percussion),Mubarak Hakim (congas, percussion),Darryl Pierce (drums before Tani). One brief period included A. Spencer Barefield (guitar). The group was scaled down (Quartet or Quintet with Dave McMurray (reeds) probably late 1978, early 1979(?)
