In addition to exploring the evolution of jazz, one of the joys is checking out all the nooks and crannies for treasure. Here's one I worked on just now.
Santana's album Caravanserai opens with a blanket of crickets to set the mood, then enters one of the most haunting and ethereal sax solos you're likely to hear.
The Eternal Caravan of Reincarnation
Who did that sax solo? The same person who does a brief trippy Ian Anderson-esque flute solo on the last track of Caravanserai Every Step of the Way.
Hadley Caliman. Never heard of him, but there is much to explore. I don't see anything to indicate he would be an obvious candidate for those solos, Caliman seems rather straight ahead. I'd love to know the story of how Caliman was selected and whether the sax solo was written or improvised, etc. (Flute obviously improvised.)

Re: "Jazz" thread
Oh jazz thread, you are on my mind lately.
I wanted to comment on DB Roy's comments on jazz from the 1930s and 1940s. One of my go to albums is this box set.
http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/an-anth ... kid=3x1819
Also, NPR has several downloadable shows about jazz, including a couple of 2-parters about Duke Ellington.
I've never heard of many of these jazz artists, so this is much appreciated. Apparently Ray Bauduc and Bob Haggart were in a band called Big Noise from Winnetka. Winnetka was my home town until I was about five years old.
I love that Santana song, youkrst. Never heard anything like it.
And to completely change the subject, any The Decemberists fans here?

i was glad when LanDroid posted it 'cause it sent me off on one of those youtube soiree's with caravanserais at all places Hadley Caliman.
(yes there is a trainwreck at the end of that sentence )
Hadley sure was part of some sweet sounds and still is apparently.

The Decemberists' last couple of albums have amped up the greatness in my opinion. Although Colin Meloy's voice may be something of an acquired taste. I believe Suzanne posted this song last January. Here it is again.

And behind this zany video is one great song.

Re: "Jazz" thread
mahavishnu version of dixie, god damn they missed an opportunity there
here's an old fave of mine from them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mdGCqZTres
we had the music book back in the day and it had the head all written out and then the strangest thing
it said
all members of the band take a solo in the key of their star sign.... lol i burst out laughing
then it had a list of all the various zodiac houses and the key that supposedly matched
i can only remember being so annoyed because i was sagittarius and my key was F major
and i was thinking FFS! i'm a blues rock pentatonic player and i get a frickin' piano key
