[…] Funeral (1968) was a “dark opera without words”, adapted for the vibraphone player Gary Burton. Charlie Haden’s Liberation Music Orchestra album(1969), for which Bley arranged tunes such as We Shall Overcome and Ornette Coleman’s War Orphans, showed that she could lead an unruly crew of soloists and bond them together without losing anyone’s individuality.

This year, I was so stoked to hear that one of the baddest jazzers around, Christian McBride, would not only be performing, but also paying homage to the late Ray Brown!
