Time is starting to catch up to a
Don Ellis time signature/meter...

He wails ,they wail! so inspiring..
thanks 4 posting

Are there three bass players!!?-Awsome!

Imaginas una batalla entre esta orquesta y la de Pérez Prado, cada una a un lado del salón y los dos jefes dirigiendo en el medio?

Can you imagine a battle between this orchest? and Pérez Prado's, with the two bosses in the middle?

I bet Don Ellis' win in the 7th round thanks to an incredibly powerful refrain.

Saludos desde España, melómanos.

17/8 divided 5-5-7
Try this...
It will absolutely work. and it's written on the album...
Good luck

127/4?

Looks like Rufus Reid on upright bass. There is a lot of noise on the recording. Drums and latin percussion. it is not clear enough for me to figure out the meter(s)

double-u double-u double-u dott Don Ellis Music dott comm. ;-) SPF

I love his usage of quartertones. There's not many that could find relevant, tasteful use of them, but he does it so effortlessly. For a bonus point, who can tell us what time this piece is in? :P

It's weird because its almost like a combo of two 5/4 bars with one 7/4 right? So would that make it 17/4?

amen
