Boy, Petra Haden sure has been coming up a lot lately, what with the jazz roots from her dad

So, her Dad is Charlie Haden? Cool. I have a couple albums too, and I've seen him at the Montreal Jazz Festival...superb show. His album "Haunted Heart" with his Quartet West is a favorite. I also have one of his "Montreal Tapes" discs, with Don Cherry and a drummer I can't remember right now. Don't like that one as much. First I hear of his daughter, though I guess Jay did mention that Who Sell Out album.

Yeah, from what I've read Bill Frisell used to play a lot with Charlie and knew about Petra and her sisters but never really heard her until recently when he was at her show and was blown away. They had kind of a mutual admiration thing going so kept in touch and then got together to do the album. Or something like that

Of course Charlie has played on tons of recordings, everything from Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come to Beck's Odelay and John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band so most of us probably have a few recordings with him. I always liked the Magico album with Jan Garbarek and Egberto Gismonti. Very nice recording too. Cool cover. I traded with someone here a couple years ago for Beyond the Missouri Sky (Short Stories) with Pat Metheny too. Nice but very subdued. A bit different than I expected and I haven't really played it much.
