Johnny Malone met Allan Barnes while studying at Howard University in the 1960's. Taught by Donald Byrd, they were also classmates with Donny Hathaway, Leroy Hutson, and Angela Winbush. Barnes was already a member of the the Blackbyrds. When the two friends formed Malone Barnes and Spontaneous Simplicity (named after the tune by Sun-Ra) the collaboration yielded Freedom Serenade, an album of super spacey and spiritual jazz funk. Released in limited quantity in 1976, on their Humpin' International label, this rare album bears the hallmarks of contemporaries like the Blackbyrds, the Mizell Brothers and DC neighbors Oneness of Ju-Ju.
