gone but not forgotten
I was never a great fan of Don Ellis (although he was also a pretty good drummer).
His way out sounds, and odd time signature compositions, showed him to be a great musician/composer, and innovator. I seem to remember that he also played a four valve trumpet.
He was very much liked by a lot of musicians, but then, I am a drummer !!
Have to admit that I never listened to much by Gary McFarland, although he may be featured on some of my Getz/Brookmeyer/Mulligan LP's. Will have to check.
