[TPIN] A Final Twisted Tune Title or Two

[Richard Mason]

I've been patiently waiting for Jim Donaldson to chime in about one of our favorite trumpet players, Don Ellis.  His juxaposed tune is Scratt and Fluggs.  This is a take off on the bluegrass music played by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs on the soundtrack to Deliverance.  As I recall the band was the Foggy Mountain Boys.  Anyway, It moves right along in 5/4, but then odd meters were Don's trademark.
   
  Another twisted tune by Matt Cattingub is Blues and the Abscessed Tooth, which is a twist on Oliver Nelson's Blues and the Abstract Truth.
