Nice tribute to Jerome Cooper. Did you not have a copy of Unpredictability of Predictability? The composition 'The Crouch Opinion' was a response to the review of Unpredictability of Predictability that Stanley wrote for The Village Voice. It was originally a piece for solo percussion that Jerome arranged for that particular album and sextet.

You're right; I don't have that album. I wish I did.
