The Covert Super-hero
It's nice to see that the use of pseudonyms "for contractual reasons" is a living jazz tradition:
(For contractual reasons, Mr. [Wynton] Marsalis was advertised as E. Dankworth, the name he uses whenever he wants to slip under the radar.)
(Old Guard and Avant-Garde Celebrate Common Ground)
Ratliff closes the article with The moral of the story: Ornette Coleman is for everyone, but how I wish he had said Ornette Coleman is for the babies! This is a New York newspaper, is it not?
