Happy coincidence - just came across this cool feature about Giuffre in the New York Times (love the way they say 'Mr Coleman', Mr Bley', 'Mr Swallow' etc) from a few years ago - great photo from 1961 too

I saw _Jazz on a Summer's Day_ for the second time last week, and then posted on Facebook how much I loved "The Train and the River" over the opening credits. Sounds like Henry Flynt at the beginning!

Train and the River is def one of the highlights of that film for me, along with the Chico Hamilton performance and the Gerry Mulligan performance. Really it makes a pretty good case over all for "Cool" school jazz, which was sort of avoided in jazz education at the time I was studying.
