Lonely Woman

This atmospheric performance from 1983 of Ornette’s “Lonely Woman” is on alto flute which I played on and off over the years till I let it go along with the tenor in 1985 for 15 years to concentrate on soprano sax only. This horn is a challenge, especially to go in the higher register, but I enjoyed it a lot. The rhythm section was one I worked with quite often in the ‘80s in New Orleans, and for awhile I seriously contemplated moving there. On drums is John Vidakovich; on bass is Jim Singleton; on guitar (using his invention the Keetar) is Steve Masakowski.
