Morning Jesse K!

Here is more about this Penderecki/Cherry collaboration:

Recorded live at the Donaueschingen Music Festival in Germany on October 17, 1971, this rare concert has not been available on vinyl since the seventies! This recording, while still firmly rooted in the American free jazz tradition of Ornette Coleman and Albert Ayler (with whom Don Cherry frequently recorded), brings in elements of traditional Indian, African, Chinese, Mayan and Balinese music. Of the three pieces found here, the first two are composed by Cherry and feature an international group of musicians reminiscent of Sun Ra's Arkestra (Cherry also recorded with Ra). His son, the three-year-old Eagle-Eye Cherry, and his wife Moki, can also be heard in some sections! The final piece was written and conducted by Grammy Award-winning Polish avant-garde composer Krysztof Penderecki, best known for his groundbreaking "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima."

ARTISTS
Manfred Schoof, Kenny Wheeler, Tomasz Stanko (trumpets); Paul Rutherford, Albert Mangelsdorff (trombones); Gerd Dudek, Peter Brotzmann, Willem Breuker (saxophones); Gunter Hampel (flute, bass clarinet); Fred van Hove (organ, piano); Terje Rypdal (guitar); Peter Warren (bass); Han Bennink (drums, Chinese woodblocks, tabla, thumb piano, percussion, plastic hose, horse jaw, etc.); Don Cherry (pocket trumpet, Chinese Shuan-flute, South-American Maya Bird flute, vocal); Loes Macgillycutty (vocal); Mocqui Cherry (tambura)

Hiya.
.. that's quite a different sense of the word Freitag altogether, there, Doug. Queue the scary dentist horror string section.
Avatar 11:28am Carmichael:

Doug, is the Ali picture inreference to Ken Norton's recent passing?
  11:28am Marmalade Kitty:

..and late one also to you, Carmichael!! :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:29am Doug Schulkind:

@Carmichael
Completely unrelated. In the way, of course, that nothing is unrelated.

Ali is mocking George Forman, "Zombie!"?

I'm fixing an early lunch in my Ken Norton deep frier.

Ciao, ndbob!
Avatar 11:32am Carmichael:

I assume that picture is in Zaire, the Rumble in the Jungle.
Avatar 11:33am still b/p:

Have the good weekend.
I'll be driving a small covererd pick-up, packed Beverly Hillbillies style, to drop salvage accents and sculpture at the party site...while Ali the Bee continues to sting/steer in his ghost 280Z or Ford LTD or Mercury Marquis or Cooper Miniiiiii or Jaguar E or Lamborghineeeeee.....(not a Midget MG or lame-ass Capri or Opal GT).

I'm pretty sure you're right. About Zaire.
Avatar 11:44am still b/p:

glenn -- either of those could be presented in court as evidence that I'd been involved somehow.

I'll see to it that it's archived for you, James.
Avatar 11:50am glenn:

hydramatic was probably some kind of 1940's outboard motor.

How old is Ricky Spicer on this record. Nine? Ten? Sounds like Rose Murphy. Ha!

This is quite possibly the worst song ever.
