    Wow, I can't believe I didn't find this sooner. I have the LP, and the reissued CD, and I know every note of this piece. Leave to Don Ellis to take a 4/4 melody and subdivide it so it sounds like 33/16! (A noteworthy time signature among Don Ellis fans.) I was so fortunate to get to see this band at Blues Alley in Washington, DC just before they took off for Montreux that year, and was counting the days until the album came out. Next thing I knew, he had passed away. We lost Don Ellis way too soon!

    He had started paving the way, in the years earlier, for the likes of Mangione who reaped all the reward. "Open Wide" should have been every bit as big as "Land of Make Believe". The pioneers rarely get their due.

    I'm 67. I was 22 when he played this. I was blessed to be introduced to Don Ellis' music by a personal friend of his who was my first music teacher, Jerry Moore, when I began playing trumpet at 10 years old. By 16 I was in the highschool jazz band and Jerry Moore then was the jazz band director at College of the Redwoods Eureka, California. Mr. Moore also had a community jazz band which met each Thursday at 7 pm. His two sons played in our highschool jazz band directed by a man who had played trombone in the Woody Herman band in the 1940s. Jerry Moore wrote a band piece named Thursdays at 7 which was in 7/4. We performed it in the highschool jazz band. Later that year 1970-71 he convinced Don to have his band perform in podunk Eureka. I was able to meet Don personally before the show. He justifiably wondered if the ticket sales would even cover the cost of the performance. But the performance was fantastic. The selections were a mix of songs recorded on the Don Ellis at Fillmore and Tears of Joy albums.
    I was married in 1978 and my children grew up listening to Final Analysis.

    This is my #1 modern Orchestra as well as #1 composer, arranger, leader and conductor.
    His progressive style of "trumpetizing" and conducting must have been adored and admired by especially the latter-day, "electronic" Miles Davis and the "Hi-Lite Jiving" Wayne Shorter of today Funk-fusion.
    Don Ellis was time ahead; don't you think?😠
    It is time overdue for a renaissance of his genre - as was presented by him and his musical "troupe".
    Long live Mr. Don Ellis!😠
