Check out Electric Bath, arguably his most well known LP and a staple of 1960s big band recordings. Good stuff.Never heard of Don Ellis until now but I like his tone and style of sound the song is pretty good

Knowing Don, I would've figured it was how you're supposed to count the 2nd repeat of the 9-bar D-section leading into the the 13/8 D.S. al coda...Starts with the track "33 222 1 222" ("....and that's just area code," Ellis says in the introduction).
I still can't get 3⅔/4 time through my head...Knowing Don, I would've figured it was how you're supposed to count the 2nd repeat of the 9-bar D-section leading into the the 13/8 D.S. al coda...
Well, mathematically, you can take it to 11/12. Of course, I assumed there was no such thing as a "twelfth" note per se (...er, except in Don Ellis' world😵); but, lo and behold, from Wikipedia: twelfth notes are one eighth note in an eighth note triplet. Who would've guessed?I still can't get 3⅔/4 time through my head...
👍👍 Let us know how it sounds!My copy of "Live in Europe" should arrive this week.
Keeping my fingers crossed the audio is as good as promised by Sleepy Night.
Copy arrived and I gotta say, pleasantly surprised.👍👍 Let us know how it sounds!
I played a couple of Ellis tracks last week, between doing needle drops of some John Klemmer albums. I had to hear the Ellis version of "Excursion #2" (which Klemmer plays on) from the Fillmore album.
