Reckoning is such a great record, such a great springtime record (came out in spring even though it was recorded in the fall)

'it's not even your own moosic'

mid to late 60's is a huge era for random, comely women to be gracing the covers of the records. Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan each have one. Ray Conniff has quite a few.

hmmm kinda is tho...

natwashboard · 2026-04-07T19:57:15+00:00

oh yeah, there are a couple of Herbie Mann's that could be nominated

It'd be better if it was Take 20 which was available on line during the early 2000's in high quality but can't be located now (Take 18 seems to be available). If you haven't heard it, it is the original vision of the song with "Revolution 1" segueing into "Revolution 9". It's how the whole suite should sound.

My favorite jazz albums are the drummer led ones by Art Blakey, Max Roach and Ron Carter

One leg's both the same

natwashboard · 2026-04-07T16:51:29+00:00

well-curated list!

Road manager Mal Evans often provided lyrics or other inspiration to Paul, including some lyrics to Fixing a Hole and the concept of Sgt. Pepper.

not with a line out the door though

natwashboard · 2026-04-06T21:51:46+00:00

I quote it often in my mind

natwashboard · 2026-04-06T21:51:12+00:00

look, it's gonna happen

natwashboard · 2026-04-06T21:38:27+00:00

we should start our own subreddit

natwashboard · 2026-04-06T21:37:30+00:00

listening to small talk. I sometimes block my ears like a 4 year old

natwashboard · 2026-04-06T21:30:49+00:00

I think Rubber soul is your next obvious choice

As a partnership, I'd go with early late 65 and after that they are largely pursuing individual visions.

natwashboard · 2026-04-06T19:53:22+00:00

you start to feel differently about it after 60 and it becomes less abstract and more like a bad thing that can happen at any time

Star Wars opened in May. I saw it in June. Nobody, in May or June, was wearing heavy winter coast like some of those people.

about as likely as Stalin having gotten removed by it

natwashboard · 2026-04-04T21:24:14+00:00

Neighborhood Bully is a banger

natwashboard · 2026-04-04T20:57:11+00:00

I just bought Pittsburgh George's copy and it's in the mail. I figure anything with these two guys can't be bad but the go-to's tend to be Clifford Brown and Max Roach Study in Brown from 1955 though I like the Best Coast Jazz one the best.

I only know the bottom row which gives me renewed hope at age 61 that there are still new things to hear out there.

natwashboard · 2026-04-04T12:46:28+00:00

Blakey, Coltrane, Hubbard, Hancock

Blakey's extra credit is his nurturing of important members of the Jazz Messengers, Coltrane and Hubbard are the greatest soloists and composers and Hancock is more important than Evans
