By the way that's a cute hat, and a smile so hard to resist...

[Chris Broderick]

Not to mention the fact that, like Ornette, McClintic
Sphere plays a plastic saxophone with a very heavy
gauge reed (#4 1/2, I think), and is seen wearing a
heavy woolen coat indoors, which is something Don
Cherry once mentioned in an interview regarding the
first time he met Ornette.  

That said, I've always wondered where Pynchon got the
name McClintic.  It's of course, wonderfully
euphonious, but what the hell does it mean?  I always
thought of "Edie McLin", a Cannonball Adderly tune,
but whatever...

the record, none of these guys (Coleman, Parker,
Coltrane, Monk, Mulligan) EVER recorded "Up, Up and
Away" or any other song recorded by The Fifth
Dimension or written by Jimmy Webb. : ) w On Dec 10,
