o10, you posted the exact Giuffre track that lead me to his music, and that number remains my favorite decades later.
You will certainly remember that I've commented on and posted links to performances from "Jazz on a Summer's Day" several times. Including recently to O'Day's stand out numbers.
Regarding "Flamingoes", Toni was good but I remain loyal to Gil Evans' instrumental version -

Regarding Ornette, I remember how radical I considered his music when he came on the scene. Now if I listen to any of those early albums they sound almost conventional. So that's a good perspective on how our tastes and perceptions can change over time.
