ornette's and keith jarrett's titanic bassist also leads his own groups. first vid's with quartet west. the pianist is allen broadbent.



second is with the liberation music orchestra playing barber's "adagio" in 2003, on the not in our name tour. (bye-bye, bush and cheney.) the arranger/conductor is carla bley.



last is from letterman last year, playing his son josh's song "spiritual" from rambling boy, the country album (grew up singing on his parents' c&w radio show) he made with josh and triplet sisters petra (whose who and bill frisell recs i like real much), rachel, and tanya (who's married to jack black; go fig). is it my imagination, or does josh look like philip seymour hoffman? johnny cash also covered this.
