Something tell's me it's been done before. and if I did that, I'd want to add Pat Place, and then I'd just end up with the contortions.

[Chankgeez]

Lester Bowie trumpet, violin

I don't remember Lester Bowie ever playing violin, dubs.

I know all those guys were multi-instrumentalists, but could you point me to some examples of his violin playing?

[Blackened Soul]

I think the world is ready for the three Diamonds

Neil Diamond
King Diamond
Jim Diamond

Why not make that Four Diamonds and add Dustin to the mix?

[Blackened Soul]

because he needs to die by being ripped into small bloody chunks.

[Chankgeez]

If you paid him enough, I think he might go for that.

sorry, that was a memory error...i was thinking of Leroy Jenkins, who was also an AACM member and played on "Rawalpindi Blues" on Escalator Over The Hill. sometimes it's hard to keep all the AACM guys sorted out.

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, dubkitty, somebody needs to keep you in check. (Especially since one of the tenets of the AACM is multi-instrumentalism.)

Love jazz fiddle. Been listening to some Revolutionary Ensemble lately.

[Mudfuzz]

Several people from a few bands that one day might be interesting but have yet to be born.
