I sure this was a very important factor. I was already a confirmed jazz listener when the Beatles albums were coming out and naturally sceptical about the attention they were receiving while my ears were trained on other (and generally ignored) new sounds from Coltrane, Herbie, Hubbard, Kirk, Shepp, etc. The Beatles' lurching from style to style had me saying this can't be all their own work, so Hot Ptah's comment on their producer seems very much to the point. However, now we know the truth about Teo Macero's part in Miles's "electric" work, I should as a jazz listener be less critical about how the Beatles' music came about, I suppose!

I've also had trouble getting KBCS archives to work. Have you succeeded? No. Now listening live. (Morning in Seattle, evening in Manchester.) Ah, well it was the "searching" part that snarled me up. I somehow found that page I linked above by simply going to the day's current menu and clicking the "previous" link in the upper left corner until until it took me back to Monday. The Bright Moments show was one of the options in the menu on the left (the very bottom one listed). I just clicked on that and the track listing for Bright Moments came up as it appears on the linked page. Then I clicked the "Listen to this Archived Show" message in red lettering in the upper right, and it played without a hitch. Simple! .... Thanks for that, paps. I'll try that when I've got through listening to the current show. (At the moment they're playing some great stuff by Joe Gordon and Richie Kamuca from the album West Coast Days which I've never heard before. ) Got it working now!

I know Pete Christlieb from his fine work with the Bob Florence Limited Edition and Rein de Graaff for his support for Johnny Griffin on The Jamfs Are Coming.

Thanks for this Larry. So was MDs slide to all things electric motivated by necessity rather than artistry. Any further thoughts on this. From this end of history the electric piano here seems very deliberate. I suppose Gerry Mulligan's quartet is the best example of necessity producing a change in artistic direction, there must be others.... Lester Young's switching to tenor as the other guys got the chicks while he was putting away his drums?

I agree. A quick look at my record collection shows I reached for (i.e. bought) 17 Blakey albums before this one. Though I do have and enjoy the MOANIN' album, it is not even close to being among my favorites by Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. The sessions with Mobley and Dorham, or Byrd, or Morgan; with McLean and Hardman; with Clifford Brown and Lou Donaldson; and the ones with Hubbard or Morgan with Shorter all rate higher in my book. Not sure why, but I prefer Golson on the albums where he is the leader far more than when with the Jazz Messengers. Very much with you on all of that, Peter!

I never knew they were brothers. Talented family!
