You guys have the Ornette stuff right.

A great record! When I bought it in the mid-60s, I wondered if that was Sonny Boy on the cover. I was relieved when I found out it wasn't. You Chicagoans might have seen him in person. The closest I came to that was seeing a video from a European tour. He had an amazing presence. If he lived in a different society, he might well have been an actor as well as a musician.

An Evening with Ornette Coleman - 1 (Black Lion)

Mingus really chewed through pianists in the 50s didn't he? Not sure if he is still alive and / or playing, but I could swear he did a long CADENCE interview in the past decade. Also, this looks like it merits further investigation: http://www.folkways.si.edu/nadi-qamar/mama-likembi-instruction-record-thumb-piano/islamica-music-instruction/album/smithsonian EDIT: Like! http://www.facebook.com/NadiQamarSpauldingGivensOfficialPage And this recent release on what I presume to be Qamar's private label: http://www.worldcat.org/title/from-spaulding-givens-to-nadi-qamar/oclc/741515919 There was a long interview in Cadence - done by Bill Dixon. I transcribed it and it was long because I didn't feel that it was my right to cut anything. So it was printed as it was.
