Contributed by Dave_Bruce, who writes:-
Little needs to be added to the interesting essay by English critic Val Wilmer in the accompanying booklet except to give full and proper credit to Dutch archivists for rescuing the reputation of this fine player and composer of Anglo-African origin.
That said, this interesting blog post which discusses Foresythe from an African-American viewpoint should not be missed:
