Misha Mengelberg - great pianist, improvisor, composer and parrot lover.
Excellent and always fascinating Misha Mengelberg - this time a Dutch-New York quartet with Han Bennink, Dave Douglas and Brad Jones on board.

'On The Corner' - rock & funk period of MD. Very good stuff, I have a full session of this recordings - very nice 6 CD box set - love it. What's important there is Dave Liebman on the board - one of my favorite musician all the time. He's a 'main tree branch' in Coltrane context.- Chicago
