What an INTERESTING record this is. Not really "jazz" per se, but BFD. There's so pretty individual and advanced thinking going on in these charts (to say nothing of surreal humor), and with players like this, you know that the execution is going to be true, and swinging (ELVIN!). Highly recommended for those who like this kind of stuff.

Best price I've seen on this so far has been The Bastards. Of course.

Has Carla Bley ever mentioned being influenced by Raymond Scott? I hear a subtle connection in some of Scott's original themes on this one.

Not really familiar with his other work, other than by reputation and the occasional sample. Gonna have to change that...
