  1. “they came out of the New York Jazz Loft scene”

    FWIW, I need to correct myself…they were PART of the N.Y. Jazz Loft scene in the ’70s, but came out of the AACM and CCC groups in Chicago…again, FWIW :)

  2. “And the “string trio of NY,” proved in 1979, that Strings in jazz, are valid.”

    Strings have been valid in jazz for a long time, with names like Venuti, Grappelli, Nance, Pettiford, Carter, David Baker, Abdul Wadud, Ramsey Ameen, and many others.

    Any interesting group originating in the ’70s was the Revolutionary Ensemble (Leroy Jenkins, violin; Sirone, bass; Jerome Cooper, drums) - they came out of the New York Jazz Loft scene and were strongly influenced by Albert Ayler and Cecil Taylor.

  3. Very interesting…I have “Skies of America” and “Forms and Sounds for Wind Quintet (Great London Concert)” and have wanted to hear more with these instrumental settings…thanks for posting this.

  4. Bird loved his recording of “just friends.” I guess Bird could not judge his own playing? Why is Ornette still hard for people to dig? I saw him with Charlie Haden & Ed Blackwell in 1973, ( I was 17) totally smoking. I feel sorry for you, if you don’t dig it. Makes me laugh, that he is still controversial. And the “string trio of NY,” proved in 1979, that Strings in jazz, are valid.

  5. Charlie Parker also thought that working with strings would earn him respect. That also resulted in work that is universally considered inferior to his jazz output. Pay attention, guys.
