This is the kind of stuff that I had in mind. Music that lands in the same place as the Miles 2nd quintet, Coltrane’s classic quartet, the music that Shorter/Henderson/McLean/Hill were recording for Blue Note… it’s telling that these guys never included guitarists in their recordings prior to 1968. Someone mentioned Larry Coryell upthread - good callout. I’d put him in the same bucket as Szabo, Zollar.

Today's Preakness was a muddy track, and it was won by the horse I was rooting for, Seize the Grey! The bettors had him at 9-1, I think seventh of eight. He led from start to finish. (2) NBC Sports on X: "Seize The Grey WINS the 149th Preakness Stakes! 🌻 https://t.co/Uqyb5nXPuS" / X

They didn't like the way Red Mitchell was playing on Torrorow is the Question, so Ornette and Cherry went to the Black Hawk where Percy Heath was playing with the MJQ. Lewis let them sit in, and flipped out over OC and DC, and they got Percy for the album. Lewis recommended them to Ertegun for Atlantic. Kenny Clarke told Loren Schoenberg that he left the MJQ, because "John Lewis hated Jazz"

Howard Shore / Ornette Coleman / London Philharmonic Orchestra – Naked Lunch (Complete Original Soundtrack) ... US 2016 Original Artwork by Rich Kelly

A rich art dealer is obsessed with paintings of Lenin, and he has made his life's goal to buy every single genuine piece of art that has the figure of Lenin no matter who the artist is or what the cost. After decades of searching and buying, he is proud to say he has in his vault every single art item picturing Lenin apart from one, a painting called “Lenin in Paris” from an insignificant Soviet artist contemporary to Lenin, that was lost a little time after Lenin’s death. His passion is so wild that he turns the whole world upsidedown to find the valuable painting; and he does, in a small village in Siberia. He sends his people to buy the painting no matter what the cost. He sends an insane amount to the owner, and travels to the village to take the painting back to his home himself. He enters the villagers house, and asks with impatience, “Where is it? Where is it?” The villager shows him a covered painting which he carefully uncovers in order to admire the masterpiece. The painting shows a black gentleman in flagrante delicto with a blonde lady. Baffled, he asks the villager “What is this? Who is this woman?” The villager responds, “Ah, that is Lenin’s wife.” “WHAT? And where is Lenin?” “In Paris.”
