Arnold Dreyblatt's interesting pulse and timbre is from The Sound of One String (although not available on lala)...I keep working through my John Cage tracks...The Ornette Coleman is from a crude early recording Complete Live from the Hillcrest Club; he plays with zest but hasn't yet broken free...I can listen to Monk improvise on any tune but Nutty is a favorite...Ode fascinatingly combines a recording of an auctioneer with electronic sounds.
