Don Ellis was a very influential jazz figure. He started composing in odd time signatures, introduced some aspects of Indian (from India) music into the music, and played a trumpet with a special 4th valve that allowed him to play quarter tones. For the musicians in the audience, that'd be halfway between an E and an F. Pretty neat stuff.
With that, on to the Walk.
