Basil I think denardo his son was 12 when they are this recorded

Denardo doesn't sound 'great,' Malcolm - but he's improved over "The Empty Foxhole" ... the only record that I find satisfactory from him is "Crisis," but that might just be because the music is so good and 3/4 of the classic quartet is on it. The other 1968 albums with Elvin Jones are far superior. Freddie Hubbard famously commented in a Blindfold Test that Denardo the drummer sounded "like a little kid fooling around." Nepotism was at work, and nemesis was the result.

[@Rickriquinho]

Ornette composed only one piece of music in his entire carreer, and repeated it over and over...

[@victorrodriguez-sandoval4580]

You're not hearing Ornette.

[@zqa12swx]

lol I guess that's all he needed.

[@adriengomez630]

so did Mahler or Mozart--they sound to who they are like Zappa can't be confused with someone else.

[@emilianoturazzi]

that only proves 2 things
1) you don't know Ornette
2) you don't know how to listen to Ornette
lots of people unused to listen to bebop say the same about Bird's tunes and improvisations (by the way Bird actually basically worked on two chord sequences in an handful of keys - rhythm changes in Bb and blues in F, Eb, C and maybe Bb - once in Ab and some standard in G and Db . does this mean that Bird's tune were all the same?)

[@Godsuhn]

Wow! I guess thats why we are still listening to his music 50 years later. Can't wait to hear your ...many compositions Ricardo, cos, you are obviously some sort of musical genius!!
