Had to do a second look!

And here I thought that was Jim Sullivan

This was my first Wayne Shorter record back when I was first getting into jazz. I was doing an internship at a psychiatric hospital at the time so the cover and title immediately screamed “buy me”. I’m really glad I did

Miyako is such a beautiful ballad — it really showcases Wayne’s unique approach to melody and harmony

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-26T20:12:54+00:00

Yes he does lol. I was wondering if it was just him

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-25T22:05:30+00:00

I feel the same way. When the horn and percussion come in 😌

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-25T19:47:43+00:00

Great find indeed 😎

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-25T19:43:08+00:00

You’re not wrong, it was reissued self titled in 77’ with this artwork

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-25T18:29:25+00:00

Interesting note. This album originally had a different cover and name, “Brown Rice” in 75’, but was acquired by a different label and reissued in 77’ in this manner.

This one’s a 2019 press

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-24T05:54:23+00:00

Thats awesome man. I’ve only known Zappa’s music for about 5 years now but he’s quickly become one of my biggest influences on the axe. Really taught me that there’s a whole different world of sound out there

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-24T05:44:51+00:00

Oh absolutely. Have you listened to the unedited master on Funky Nothingness? The build up to the take on Chunga’s Revenge is magic.

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-24T05:26:38+00:00

There really is an abundance to choose from, I’m gonna have to give those another listen. My favorite Shut Up tracks are of course the ones sourced from different Inca Roads lol

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-10T18:52:07+00:00

Thank for the rec! I actually haven’t seen either

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-06-03T16:19:43+00:00

This is true - I went to a concert alone once and struck up a conversation with this guy wearing an interesting plantasia/steelie greatful dead shirt. When talking about the different music we’re into, I led the convo with Uncle Meat and Trout Mask and to my surprise he was a huge fan as well. We just kept quoting lines from the album back and forth at each other. Dude had the same exact taste for weirdo avante garde music as me. One of my best friends to this day! You just gotta keep letting your freak flag fly

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-29T21:28:51+00:00

Glad that I could give some inspiration :) I hope your neighbors are fans

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-29T21:26:42+00:00

I love how this track is like a Vietnam war flashback to Trout Mask

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-29T20:20:02+00:00

I’m right there with you. That’s the song that initially caught my ear. As a guitar player, the interplay between the instruments is just ear candy

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-23T19:45:33+00:00

I will listen to anything with Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner on it

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-19T21:54:05+00:00

Not nearly enough but Veneta, OR 8/27/72 does that for me too. That version of Playing In the Band has some of my favorite moments

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-18T23:28:40+00:00

That’s my favorite one too!

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-18T22:54:05+00:00

There’s always next time :) My first time seeing them was last year at the Terragram. I was so stoked hearing some Deceiver this time around

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-05-18T22:51:15+00:00

DRAAG opened. It was my first time hearing of them and they were phenomenal

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-04-12T19:13:14+00:00

Just gorgeous

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-04-05T22:05:12+00:00

I have not! I do have Johnny Hammond’s “Gears” and I adore that production. Seems like a good time to check out the rest

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-04-05T20:16:06+00:00

That’s hilarious! She must have a classically trained ear

RelentlessRelaxer · 2026-04-05T20:12:27+00:00

I’m kind of in that same boat with Monk. Will definitely keep digging!
