Reminds me that back in the days when all music was on vinyl someone said that if you played a latter-day Hawk L P at 45 rpm, it sounded like Bird. Heard that one before?

Heard it and tried it, on the "Moonglow" solo from that 1957 Newport record.

It sounded like Bird in every way but the tone and accents...pretty big differences there, but if the intended point was just to point out that Hawk was ahead of the curve in terms of introducing an element of chromaticism into jazz improvisation(and as a result altering the length and contours of the lines), then it's a sound point that can be applied beginning several decades earlier!

Previously familair with this one, and impressions stand - not underwhelming enough to be annoying, just underwhelming enough to be ever so slightly noticeable. But the one Farmer original is really interesting, and Clifford Jordan is always "on-point", as they say somewhere.
