Subject: Re: Mingus piece?

Hellborg-Lane-Sipe are indeed playing Coltrane's classic Naima...this can be seen in that web video floating around somewhere. (Next time I listen, I'll note the track time so that we are all on the same page.) As for Goodbye Pork Pie Hat - I haven't heard that one by H-L-S, but obviously I haven't been to every performance! Hellborg and McLaughlin were playing that Mingus piece in duo way back when in the eighties, so it's possible!

Personally, I was skeptical at first to hear this classic jazz (like the Beatles covering Mozart or something) because it seemed like a grab at legit jazz credibility but the concept is growing on me and I now think that this may be an interesting new direction for the group. An analog is someone like Steve Grossman, who came out of the 1970 Miles fusion stuff and into solo fusion with Jan Hammer, and was soon playing Naima with Elvin Jones, and finally established himself as an authentic post-Coltrane jazz saxophonist who Brecker called "the greatest there is". I'd love to see H-L-S, after their very serious exploration of Indian music, undertake an equally serious exploration of more authentic jazz improvisation.
