Two more winners from the OP.
The Fire Within:
I have this on CD. The book that inspired it might be weird, but this is great stuff. Bang is one of the few to make the Violin work in the Jazz idiom. Of course there is Stephane Grappelli and Stuff Smith. Bang is a Viet Vet. Great Tune.
I have the Bang and Sun Ra CD, "A tribute to Stuff Smith"
Chenrezig:
I will have to ADMIT I liked this. I resisted at first, but it wore me down. It was just too good. Excellent!! If this had been played by Mingus, and it sounded like it could have, I would have declared the tune, an example of his genius.
I think Cherry used to play the Piccolo Trumpet.
Thanks for the clips.
Cheers
