Chuck Nessa Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 "Summertime" = Albert Ayler. The only other time that came close was a duet by Jodie Christian and Von Freeman at Ratso's in the '80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 "Summertime" = Albert Ayler. The only other time that came close was a duet by Jodie Christian and Von Freeman at Ratso's in the '80s. That is a _great_ version of that tune. So much pathos... I have to admit, though, I like Lester Bowie's repeated use of it as a motif in "Certain Blacks." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
