Ornette, the best, teaches bebop players to be children again and still be modern.
Also jumping on the saxophone train…this unusual collaboration came to mind…
Jan Garbarek & The Hilliard Ensemble - Parce mihi domine
from the album Officium (1994)
Wikipedia:
Officium is an album by Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek and British male vocal quartet Hilliard Ensemble recorded at the monastery of Propstei St. Gerold in Austria in September 1993 and released on ECM the following year.
To add as an electronic music tangent but clashing with the angelic/ethereal Officium in a major way…
In a dark an distant past, Jan Garbarek also played his saxophone on this experimental and early electronic music / avant garde jazz album.
George Russell - Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved by Nature (1968)
Featuring Jan Garbarek
Wikipedia:
Electronic Sonata for Souls Loved by Nature is a composed work, originally in fourteen movements—or events as they are denoted by the composer—written by jazz arranger George Russell in 1968, using new compositional techniques associated at the time with contemporary music.[4] It was first performed during an April 1968 concert, a recording of which was released in 1969. The composition is “… meant to suggest that man, in the face of encroaching technology, must confront technology and attempt to humanize it, using it to enrich his collective soul…not only his purse… to explore inner, as well as outer space*”* [5].
The music is structured around a panstylistic tape of “fragments of many different styles of, avantgarde jazz music, ragas, blues, rock, serial music etc. treated electronically, … a palate upon which non-electronical musical statements of a panstylistic nature could be projected”.[5] Musicologist and jazz critic Max Harrison writes, “it is no mere coincidence that one is reminded of Stockhausen’s Telemusik of 1966”.[6] The tape had been recorded at EMS (Elektronmusikstudion) in Stockholm and consisted of a collage of sound fragments obtained from various types of music and from various places in the world. He mixed music that was seemingly incompatible both in terms of sound and context. A kind of world music with styles that rub up against each other.

First time seeing this music video. I know this song, of course. But never saw the video. And now I wonder why Tony Levin isn’t playing his bass here. He’s there, but without his bass

Michael Manring on his Hyperbass. Never heard of him, until now. Amazing and beautiful musical and instrumental mastery.
Somewhat reminded me of Patrick O’Hearn. Multi instrumentalist, but mainly known for his bass and synth work.
Music of Patrick O’Hearn | Musician | Composer | Sound Designer — Patrick O’Hearn
E.g. his bass play on his epic album Glaciation (2007)
