Just posted a brief entry on this 1976 Braxton recording on my blog. 

I love the humor and theatricality in this music.

Listen to your kids' records. If you raised them right, you'll hear things you like, as well as things that repulse you. But, you know, build on the commonalities, respect the differences, and just be thankful for what you got, diamond in the back sunroof top, etc.

More Don Pullen.  From solo piano to Mingus sideman:

 

Fantastic ! This was the great Mingus Band of the 70´s, with George Adams and Don Pullen (later replaced by Ricky Ford and Bob Neloms). I´ll never Forget how impressed I was by their live versions of "Sue´s Changes". And Don Pullen could play everything from stride piano to free. Like Jakie Byard in the 60´s bands.....

Stefan Harris "The Great Unification Theory" Blue Note cd

This is a thoroughly modern larger ensemble session with intriguing arrangements and great playing that incorporates a world of jazz forms. I slept on this one too long.

"The Popular Ellington" RCA/Sony Japan cd.

Throughout the decades Duke could play his hits and keep them breathing with new expensive gentlemen and a new suit of arrangements. Great sound on this session.

I'm too old for this type of thing, but it was fun to listen to once.

And there are some momentns of musical interest/interesting choices. But as an album, hey, it's another iteration of some good models, but it's not my iteration.
