I heard this album on Philadelphia radio station WRTI on a Sunday morning, and WRTI was a black Temple University station, which played all freeform black Negro jazz, from a lot of jazz albums which were very, very unheard of at that time. I heard a whole, entire, complete album side of a very obscure free jazz bass fiddle album. I heard a lot of twisted, hollow, plucked notes, which were also one whole series of hollow, absurd bunga- bungas from the huge bass fiddle, which was also called an enormous plaster fiddle, and it was all hollow inside, and it had the two soundholes. The bass fiddle player was Mel Gray, and he was playing a very, very long composition called, Sky With Clouds, which also went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. It also took up one whole, complete, entire side of the record, too. "Keep that on, man. That pimp be goin all bananas on that string bass of his, man, n' he be PISSIN' IN THE SOUNDHOLES, MAN!!! LAWDY MAMA!!!" John Brown yelled. "Come on, bad ass pimp that you is!!! Get down on it n' do your thang, brother pimp you is!!! Nigga, yous just so evil n' so bad on that plaster fiddle, man!!!" John Brown said. "COME ON, YA DIRTY PIMP!!! WHAT YOU WAITIN' ON, YA NASTY PIMP??? BLOW, NIGGA, BLOW!!! BLOW, NIGGA, BLOW!!!! BLOW, NIGGA, BLOW!!! I'm for sure getting that album!! That nigga blow like no tomorrow, man!!" John Brown said. -Mark Weintraub.
