My Bridgeport High School in Michigan had a fantastic band director nnamed Tom Weidner. He saw our potential from çlass of 1982 through 1987. He challenged us ànd exposed us to Don Ellis through Jazz and Marching bands. We played Final Analysis, Niner Two and Strawberry Soup. Tom transcribed the solos for us and everything. We were able to really feel like we were doing something to he proud of. Never realized at the time how special and talented we really were, but thanks to Tom we really rose to the challenge of kicking major ass on these and other really tough charts. Time Check, One More Time Chuck Corea, T.O., and others. Of all my HS memories, jamming in Tom's bands are the best! Tom we owe you alot! Go 7th! All the best to all my bànd mates who read this...never forget the lessons we learned! Jason Koval 1986 - trumpet, horn, alto trumpet (or whatever rhat crazy thing was) loved every minute!

What a great concert, sorry I missed it at the time when everyone was free to make musical experiments

Was a great time when musicians had the chance to experiment with unique musical concepts instead of following the money . Sadly missing in these days.

Became aware of Don when he was playing with Maynard's band. Years later I was playing charts from his Electric Bath album. Always distinctive, challenging and interesting.

I followed Don for many years after I first hear him guesting with Blood, Sweat and Tears at the Greek Theater. I probably saw him perform 100 times over the years. I even saw his last performance in Hollywood. I didn't know that that was the last time I would ever hear him.What a GREAT talent and a GREAT loss to humanity.

I never think of Ellis as a particularly high-note artist, but he hits that early night note as cleanly, clearly, and beautifully as Maynard or Biviano.

Why is he turning his pages backward at 6:08? A repeating section? Great stuff, and on my mother's birthday! (I just played it for her last weekend)
