If you have never heard "Strawberry Soup" or dug the sound of a huge big band, with electric string quartet, 4 drummers, a trumpet player that plays quarter-tones and a sax section that blows like a monsoon of jazz ecstasy.... you gotta hear this. Don Ellis was truly one of a kind. I saw him play with the band 4 times before his way too soon death. Pick up a copy of this 1971 masterpiece and get ready to be blown away. Don Ellis and the band... I love those words.
