Oh boy do we disagree on this one, but I generally detest Parker's plodding, self-indulgent, antithesis of swing playing. One of the most painful musical experiences was having to sit through his 20-minute solo when I saw Dave Burrell's trio with him & Cyrille. I know some people love Parker's playing. I just don't get it. Seems to me that he's the polar opposite of what both Ornette and Rollins should have (though when it comes to bass players it appears that Rollins has chosen friendship and loyalty over musical sense). I think Greg Cohen was the most perfect acoustic bass player for Ornette since the '60s.

I would throw "artisinal" in there, too. A mediocre pizza by the slice joint in my neighborhood recently hung a new awning that says it's a "Cucina Artigianale."

I knew Cliff Edwards recorded scat before Louis, but apparently there were even earlier examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scat_singing#Origins

I thought of Peacock as a natural for a Rollins-Ornette meeting because he comes out of the same milieu as Haden & LaFaro (i.e., post-Red Mitchell L.A. bass playing), and has worked with a number of Rollins' past sidemen, especially DeJohnette & Bley. He certainly would have been a natural for the Cherry-Bley edition of Sonny's band.

I've seen him several times since his comeback. I wouldn't take the same risk.

Thank you! June Lockhart Lassie Lasse Hallstrom One of the first concerts I ever attended as a kid was the Shindig Review at the NY Academy of Music on 14th St. (later The Palladium). Steve Alaimo was on the bill along with The Dixie Cups, The Dovells, and making his singing debut...Rosey Grier!

Maybe the Henry Grimes of old...
