I love Bob's creative plagiarism. When I first heard Bye & Bye on Love & Theft I thought, what song is that? and it struck me, "I'm Havin' Myself a Time," which Lady Day did.

I haven't heard the Pullen-Graves material for many years, but besides being compelling work, it's also interesting to consider how much Pullen's style transformed during his time with Mingus--and I'm talking great leaps in lyricism and range just from Moves to Changes, or my seeing him live in a comparable period.

I agree. As usual, great band too.

If ECM shuns the technology embraced by most young people they're doomed to end up like the Republican Party: a label for old white men.

Was that YOU in the bestiality episode of The Flintstones?

I always say Dutch is the real language of love because you can't speak it without exchanging bodily fluids. (No offense intended, Hans. )

Thanks for the report. One of the most transcendent live music experiences of my life was Jeanne Lee with Waldron, Workman & Cyrille at the North Sea festival, only months before she died.

Lightsey is another expat I miss. I also miss Bradley's and Zinno, where I saw him play many times. I just found this on Spotify, listed as a 2008 release.

He was also the pianist for most of Ford's tenure with Mingus, replacing Danny Mixon.
