About Ensemble Muntu
Moondoc and Jesse Sharps, a saxophonist from Los Angeles who was a member of Horace Tapscott’s UGMAA, co-founded the Ensemble Muntu in the fall of 1971 at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. The name Muntu, a Bantu word usually translated as "man," was inspired by the book Muntu: The New African Culture by Janheinz Jahn. At that time, Muntu was a 12-piece band, composed mostly of students of Cecil Taylor who played in his Black Music Ensemble. For a short time, Muntu was a quintet co-led by Moondoc and trumpeter Arthur Williams.
