Oh yeah,  My friend Chris Bowman and his pals are devotees of Ornette.  He came to a bunch of the sessions and played the role of mentor.  Nice man....nutty, but nice. On one subsequent album I played bass on one song.  I had no idea what the hell I was playing, as I felt like I was doing the bass player equivalent of shooing a nasty bee from my face, but the rest of the band thought my contribution was "perfect".

It had a note from Ornette Coleman on the back.  Shock Exchange.

After that short stint I was inspired to start the acid polka jazz band  "Wurst Case Scenario".  We put out one album, "Band of Bratters", which did quite well.

The albums I've worked on usually stay in the closet...... .

BTW I just found an lp from the mid 80s in one of my closets that had F Doddy listed as engineer.

That would be Franz Doddy, the famous Swiss yodeler, who went on to a brilliant engineering numerous polka albums after suffering a bizarre, career-ending, alpenhorn accident in 1978.
