Ornette's Lonely Woman- your favorite version

[danasgoodstuff]

Such a great song, even my ineptitude can't screw it up to bad; and Ornette's performance on SofJtoC is riveting, IMHO

there is a nice take on this

[JSngry]

What about that spookyroaring livebootleg (first on Joker, iirc) version by Ornette with a quartet of Izenzon AND Haden? Is that still around with any convenience?

And yeah, Jeff, play on!

Wail, Mr. C!

The original version will do just fine and forever. Zorn's take is down town hipster proselytising. Colonising the not mine but look kids now it is.

Charlie Haden, Don Cherry, and Ed Blackwell on Haden's "Montreal Tapes."

I like the vocal version on Ayelet Rose Gottlieb's "Internal External" (her debut album, I think - has Matana Roberts in the line-up, before she got her break)

Old and New Dreams (ECM) -- not necessarily my favorite, but a very nice reflective version

That's where I first heard the tune....in fact I first got to know Coleman's music via this group (and, stylistically, by some of Jarrett's American Quartet recordings) a couple of years before I dared to try the real thing.

'Lonely Woman' is a gorgeous tune (or harmony!).

There's a version of "Lonely Woman" on the Jazz Doctors; Intensive Care LP. Not a favorite version, but it's good.

The edition I have of the first Jeanne Lee and Ran Blake record has some bonus live tracks including a nice version of  Ornette's Lonely Woman.  BTW as well as the Horace  Silver song with the same title IIRC there is a Benny Carter song with that same title. 

[StarThrower]

Pierre Dorge & New Jungle Orchestra from the DeCapo release, Giraf.

The entire album is filled with great music and performances!

[MomsMobley]

i don't often have use for Phil Woods but Freda Payne, Walter Perkins, Hank Jones, Jim Hall...

***

i nearly always have immense use for Frank Lowe, Billy Bang, Denis Charles, Donald Garrett

I have not dug out that Jazz Doctors LP in ages, and should do so again.

I like Frank Kimbrough's version on his cd of the same name on Mapleshade.  I like every version I have heard, I think.

The MJQ version is up there for me these days.
