Then I should get that. At the time I really wanted to hear Karyobin it was unobtainable, with second hand copies going for a fortune, and some kind soul did me a C90 recording. Evan Parker claims either that Yoko Ono is audible entering the studio at one point during the performance, or that the phone is heard ringing, and she was on the other end. Mythologies, eh? Rarely of any bearing on the actual music. Actually from memory it was her ringing the front door bell.

Intrigued by that, I looked it up! EP..."then there was the famous Yoko Ono ringing the doorbell, coming to listen to her tapes with Ornette [Coleman] in another part of the studio. Something was wrong with the wiring, and the doorbell made a buzz on the tapes, which we removed using the Cedar de-clicker for the CD version. And Yoko listened, and she liked the stuff, and that's partly how the collaborations with her came about. We did a few things - I think it was just John, Derek, me, Yoko - a couple of gigs at the old Arts Lab in Drury Lane. Heady times, they were".

I have vivid memories of hearing Yoko Ono's powerful and unearthly screaming with Ornette Coleman at the Royal Albert Hall on February 29, 1968.

It is tragic that the version of 'My Favorite Things' gets cut off just before Trane gets going on the second CD from the Live at the Half Note set. What there is of it gives the impression it was one of his greatest performances of that tune.

... on which note, I'm listening to 'My Favorite Things' from the last concert at Newport via youtube, though I do have the CD. Trane's playing is insanely good... extremely trippy.

This one, then:

The version of the tune on the Village Vanguard session from 1966, with Trane's missus on piano, Pharaoh Sanders tenor, and Rashied Ali in place of Elvin, is of course more trippy still.

Coincidentally, I am listening to this - I'm now on the second part. It is beautiful.
