Inserting Elvin by Heller Levinson

Notes.
*  Eric Dolphy At The Five Spot Volume 1 with Dolphy-Little torqueing interstitial perfoliates while Blackwell vouchsafing acceptable yet lug wing waxing I need-ingning a circum-cyclo-cyclical ethno-eco-poly-pervasive percussive     need 
E-L-V-I-N     in-ser-ted

*  While talking to Will Alexander for the need to hear Elvin with Dolphy-Little the decision to ‘insert elvin’ arose.

*  A sound has no legs to stand on.


                                          -- John Cage

rip   take 2 …
Elvin   3, 4, &
smash cosmologies and confinements nosographic nosings
pertinances pile wrack condensatories havoc hoary bellicose tuberous windings
the horse on the branch sketches the leopard
the saddle has always been imaginary
crouch circumambulatory lavatorial navigation deeps unalloyed air spare issuance in-surance
contestability and arbitrage the noon flight
is booked

 

Note.
*  “The potent combination of Dolphy & Coltrane was not received well by some audiences, and particuarly by some critics, who coined the repugnant term ‘anti-jazz’ to describe music which to our ears now is no less than a fundamental example of the essence of jazz.  The hostility led to an unusual 1962 Down Beat Magazine article in which the two ‘answered’ the charges levelled against them & later caused Dolphy to leave the group (March 1962).  [Italics Mine]
