- Good point- we still have:
-
- - The David Murray Big Band, Butch Morris conducting
-
- - Willem Breuker Kollectiv
-
- - Anthony Braxton's big band compositions
-
- - Sun Ra and his Solar/Adventure/Myth/Astro/Infinity Arkestra
-
- - Odean Pope Saxophone Choir
-
- - London Jazz Composers Orchestra
-
- - Carla Bley big band
-
- - Toshiko Akyoshi/Lew Tabackin big band (sometimes)
-
- - Misha Mengelberg's IBC
-
- - Cobra
-
- - Global Unity Orchestra
-
- ...and a whole slew of band leaders, including
- Fred Houn, Horace Tapscott, Gunther Schuller, and even that candy-ass
- copycat Harry Connick Jr.
-
- but we wouldn't be allowed to discuss these heirs
- to Ellington and Basie (or even late Ellington or Gil Evans)
- in the proposed new group.
