5.0 out of 5 stars Early Ellis, before the big band or electronic sound effects
Don Ellis displays a range of improvisation perhaps unmatched by later works, and a genius for rhthmic quirks that became 5/4 and 7/4 (and 33/16 !) on those more-popular crossover albums. This is straighforward jazz interplay with trumpet, bass, drums, piano, and vibraphone. Good vibrations!

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the band?
Don Ellis fans (and I know you're out there)love Ellis'intricate time signature work in a big band arrangement best. Ellis' popularity was made and continues on in a big band setting. His intricate time signature work was/is his forte! Where's Live at Fillmore on CD?

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Archival Work, August 8, 2001

Paul Simmons (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Ideas (Audio CD)
But . . . start with Electric Bath, Autumn, and Live at Fillmore.

Ellis great genius is more accessible in some of his other works. His jazz orchestra work definitely made his mark, and those three are at the top of the list.
