I looked it up on google. Here is the response:

The "Little Bird" moniker is a direct reference to the meaning of the name Ornette, which translates to "Little Eagle" or "Little Bird" in Old English

This Todd Bishop release is GREAT.

Well, my new dog makes it impossible to use my laptop while he and I share the listening chair, so I didn’t get to chronicle my morning listening until now.

It’s nice and cool this morning, and though most leaves have not turned their color to their autumn coat, leaves and acorns have fallen, making for a nice walk Memphis and I shared. I’m back now, he’s in the kitchen with Lucinda, and the system is warmed up and sounding fantastic!

I started off with Dave Young Quintet “Mostly Mingus.” This is a live recording that very well captures the spirit and drive of a Mingus unit while also being up to date in its structure and soloing.

And now I’m playing Yazz Ahmed’s latest, “A Paradise in the Hold”–a great recording of her distinctive sounding musical collage. This keeps unveiling little delicate nuggets of music.
