Gil Evans - Priestess (Antilles). I'm in weird place mentally. I usually listen to (or play) music in the evenings. But I like football well enough that tonight I watched three and a half hours of increasingly boring television; now I feel disoriented and not quite myself. This is the album I chose to restore my mental equilibrium. Good choice - although it's far from Evans' best album, I've loved it since it came out in 1983. Billy Harper's "Priestess" is such a moving tune, and it's enhanced by Evans' scoring and great solos. Is this the best Dave Sanborn ever played?

A fine album!

This prompted me to dust mine off and give it an airing.

If Bud Hobgood could've produced instead of Creed Taylor, we might well be looking at another Soul On Top mini-masterpiece. Instead we're looking at a frustratingly clipped collection of brilliant moments whose wings get clipped just when they're ready to really take off and soar.

But those moments...they are here. Oliver Nelson WTF? moments, Charlie Mariano solo moment(s?), Irene Reid hitting it just right moments, they're all here.
