Bobby Bradford's mention of Ornette's tape collection in the interview posted on the other thread here reminded me of this feature i recently came accross. Part 2 is on the tube as well for those interested

Thanks Uli. Very interesting. I've been fortunate enough to see Warren perform a number of times. His discography (leader and sideman) is pretty impressive.

Great! Good to hear that all of M'Boom's sheet music and a lot of other stuff have been preserved.

Warren Smith live with King Curtis. nobody's best work, but...I guess I shouldn't be surprised, even that Smith didn't tux-up or conga out as requested...how long did he have the gig?
