It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared with the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSunny Murray Quintet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, recorded under the leadership of the drum crazy colleague of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlbert Ayler\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. In 1968, the saxophonist and flutist recorded his first album under his own name: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt's Not Up To Us\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. The following year he came to Paris in the wake of Sunny Murray. He would come back to France in 1971 (again with Murray) and in 1973 (without Murray for a change). This is when he met \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJef Gilson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eUs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMother Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eExactement\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eFunny Funky Rib Crib\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.Lancaster recorded \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMother Africa\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e along with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eClint Jackson III\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, a trumpeter, and partner of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKhan Jamal\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoah Howard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e on other recordings.
