The two missing tracks from Palm 1 are available on a fine double LP or CD compilation: The Best of Jef Gilson on Jazzman. Highly recommended.

Thanks. Malagasy are very musical people, lots of talented musicians but little opportunities. Jef Gilson did a great services in bringing these talents to a wider audience.
