Turnaround is a classic, too. Especially the way he plays it on Sound Grammar. Have any of you heard Don Cherry singing the head to "The Sphinx" on that Pharoah Sander's box from ESP Disk? He breaks down the composition's parts as he's scatting them.

Heard Phil Schaap's 10 a.m. break today on the Ornette Coleman tribute broadcast and he was excellent on the air. Don't know how long he went on, but his ability to organize Ornette's story in a very personal way while still touching base with the listener was good radio.

In case you missed any of these tributes. KCRW (? Is that right? A "K" station in NYC?) continues it's Ornette Coleman week, too.

I'm thinking for that title at least 30 and possibly 70. Given that many of the people in our audience are also older, the download idea would just baffle them. And I'm not really keen on the MP3 sound, especially for older recordings. No, 2 isn't going to cut it. Back in the day, when these were in stock at the label, they'd offer them to radio at a price around $6.50. We offer them for $75 as a means of supporting the station (some of the music premiums we offer have been given to us, but those are not going to be Ellington or Goodman records). And then we'd see how the audience responds. Happy to say we'll be offering the new Uptown Billie Holiday set as our on air premium tomorrow morning from 7 to 10 and I'm confident, given it's her centennial, too, we'll move some.

Ornette Coleman Trio at Hill Auditorium

That's awesome. -
Chick Corea was featured in the first 20 minutes of each hour during Jazz From Blue Lake last evening; then we heard contemporary musicians performing the compositions of Ornette Coleman to honor the musical giant's passing. Late into the program we hear from Ornette Colemanhimself, including the as yet unreleased on CD Impulse! Recordsrecording of "Crisis." Here's a link to the broadcast:http://199.176.235.218/ondemand/17-1-20150611.mp3

Ornette Coleman Trio at Hill Auditorium

Remembering.... -
Blurb: The very day after the Heliocentric 50th anniversary recording at ScienSonic, another historic meeting took place. Scott was joined in the laboratory by three of the giants of creative music, meeting for the first time: Marshall Allen, Roscoe Mitchell, and Milford Graves. Marshall had never played with Roscoe, and Roscoe had never played with Milford. Wow! An unforgettable session. Watch for it to be released, probably in early 2016.

Wanted to offer our listeners Duke Ellington's "And His Mother Called Him Bill" as a fall membership premium in honor of Strayhorn's centennial, and it is unavailable from RCA/Legacy or whatever conglomerate controls the RCA catalog now. Or at least that's what the minions there told me.
