Same reason that I was revisiting it. And, I guess it reflects the state of mainstream jazz in the early / mid 80s. It does stand out among its peers.

I had it on vinyl but sold it recently because noone else in the house would tolerate it, despite putting up with Ayler, Nonaah and a hundred other worse things. Interesting. I find it to be graceful and soothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I like the Rota and Weill and haven't listened to the Mingus enough to have an opinion. I bought a copy on impulse and forgot about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those records that justifies itself simply by having been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted March 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 Fans of Smile, take note...and wipe that smile off your face. That was then, this is now. Every day, surviving death, we send out our horses. They don’t come back. Here the dry river’s a place not to camp, the night a place not to be. An army gathers rattling its pans, thinking of home, an army that will turn your head to a fire in the sand where those who've survived this wait out of time in the dust and the gold, with the horse you thought was gone.
