<DIV>Actually, wasn't the band that contained Wes in the early 60's, like 1961? Didn't I read somewhere that one live version of the band was the classic quartet, plus Dolphy AND Wes Montgomery?</DIV>

<DIV>Tangentially related: Doesn't a tape exist somehwere of the Miles quintet of the 60's, minus miles and with Gary Peacock instead of Ron Carter?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Another Tangent: Do tapes exist of the same quintet plus Joe Henderson, a configuration that's been reported before?</DIV>
<DIV>Elliott Carter. His masterwork, Sum Fluxae Pretium Spei, was completed in 1996, when he was 87. He's 92 or something now; since that work, he's written numerous small solo violin and piano works, a clarinet concerto, a cello concerto, a song cycle, miscellaneous chanber pieces, and an opera. His 'breakthrough' work, the one that kind of codified his approaches for the rest of his career, was the First String Quartet, written in 1951, when he was 43.</DIV>

<DIV>He's not the norm, obviously, but a wonderful exception, though.</DIV>
