@Jeff g, a friend of mine was moving into a Manhattan apartment. His moving truck took up a number of spaces. Someone drove up and asked how long they would be unpacking: over 2 hours, probably.

your aunt's seeming attitude is understandable but her behavior is insensitive -in my opinion.
- i say understandable not because i'm okay with it - it's sad...but because of how many times i've witnessed siblings that didn't even communicate with each-other for years, or for the last decades of their lives.

From Wikipedia, re: Angola revolutionaries: In 1971, while on tour with the Ornette Coleman Quartet in Portugal (at the time under a fascist dictatorship), Haden dedicated a performance of his "Song for Che" to the anticolonialist revolutionaries in the Portuguese colonies of Mozambique, Angola, and Guinea. The following day, he was detained at Lisbon Airport, jailed, and interrogated by the DGS, the Portuguese secret police. He was only released after Ornette Coleman and others complained to the American cultural attaché, and he was later interviewed in the United States by the FBI about his choice of dedication.

Check out Charlie Haden's "For a Free Portugal." The track incorporates sounds of bombing and liberation fighting.

As to Phil Woods, I think he had his own recognizable style, albeit heavily indebted to Bird. Many *tried* to imitate Parker, but few actually succeeded well enough to make good music. In my humble opinion!

I generally give Phil Woods a break, but I thought his Parkersonian imitation on that cut was absurdly unabashed.

I've been listening to a lot of Oliver Nelson big-band projects, and Phil Woods is usually the best player in them. They're not so straightforward be-bop, so that may help.
