This thread reminds me of the late Don Ellis and his big band. Anybodyn remember him?

Just to give you a clue, he played a quarter-tone trumpet. Yep, 24 notes to a chromatic scale.

The band did basically only very odd meters. Example he had one record album that was titled Don Ellis Live in three and two thirds/four. (Couldn't figure out a way to type out the numbers)

But the thing that jogged my memory is that, it is said the only thing Don Ellis did in 4/4 was Take Five. haha
