Reasonableness

  

That time Asha Puthli sang (gorgeously…) for Ornette! & later with Ornette's subsequent Prime Time bassman Jamaaladeen Tacuma...

Also a wild take by The Thing's Mats, who has a fine version too with (yes, really) Neneh Cherry - whose step-dad played on the 'Science Fiction' album where it first appeared & later explored the track (whose original he sat out from) with Bobo Stenson et al & separately with Nana Vasconcelos & Ingrid Sertso!
