THEY FOUND HIM THE NEXT DAY!
http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/blog/2009/dec/21/jazz-purist-found-wynton-marsalis
First let me say I'm not a fan of Larry Ochs' music. I'm not into that kind of music. However, if this man did not like Ochs' music he should have stayed home or gone to something he liked. Calling the police is a waste of time and obnoxious.
Wynton Marsalis should not tread on other musicians lively hoods. It's a big world and I for one would hope there is room for Wynton and Ochs. Here's a good rule, if you don't like the music don't listen to it. For punters, do your research before you buy a ticket.
I seem to remember Wynton having a lot of negative things to say about Miles' Live Evil period.
Some of the musicians on that album:
Miles Davis: trumpet
Wayne Shorter: soprano sax
Joe Zawinul: electric piano -
Chick Corea: electric piano -
John McLaughlin: electric guitar
Dave Holland: electric bass
Jack DeJohnette: drums
Airto Moreira: percussion
Herbie Hancock: electric piano
Keith Jarrett: electric piano
Ron Carter: bass
Hermeto Pascoal: voice
