Don Ellis: Haiku
by John Kelman
One of the more tragic casualties of the 1970s was Don Ellis. Emerging from the big bands of Maynard Ferguson, Charlie Barnet, and Ray McKinley, the trumpeter began releasing albums under his own name in the early 1960s, distanced from his mentors' more mainstream big band sound.

Gary Smulyan: Low Man Aims High

Milcho Leviev: Multiple Personalities: Milcho Leviev Plays the Music of Don Ellis
by Robert R. Calder
Milcho Leviev! The exclamation mark doesn't mean I'm a special fan. I've just heard Leviev, and to hear of him again was itself exciting. Long ago he came through the Iron Curtain from a jazz and big band career in Bulgaria, worked in Germany with the supertrombonist Albert Mangelsdorff, played on a brilliant Art Pepper album, ...
