Jim -  Just paused Duke to give this a listen. I dug it!  Thanks for sharing. ... Sounds like y'all were having a great time. :tup

I still say that's Aunt Esther on the cover.

Finished yesterday up with this one, which is one of the more...stealth (or just out and out deceptive) records I've come across in quite a while.

So, ok, cheesy tinkly mood music for late-night seductions, right?

The explain this:

By the time it's over, you're in some really "out" notions of space and silence, the dynamics of interruption and insertion and specific textural gravities:

and a McCoy Tyner cover in between (in 1965!):

and the one nod to the Poinciana beat gets really opened up. Vernell Fournier, don't sleep on Vernell Fournier!

But what about the strings? Well, the arrangements are by Joe Kennedy (a "legendary" figure about whom I don't know nearly enough) and they are lush, but not JUST lush.

It's  a stealth record.
