Thanks for the tribute to Barre, and the link to his Ornette stories, which are truly amazing. He is truly missed, I loved playing with him, always inspiring and pushing you to the highest levels.

Ditto for the wonderful Barre link and tribute.

The early, pre-Five Spot Ornette origin story is so much richer than the standard account from the New York perspective. So many profound encounters in Texas, New Orleans, Los Angeles, etc.. Wondering if there a book that properly puts them all in context.
