Back to jazz: Jimmy Forrest with Shirley Scott - Heart of the Forrest (Palo Alto; reissued on Muse) Trio with drummer Randy Marsh, recorded in '78.

Back in my high school days, I spent a lot of time listening to prog rock. Poking around in a thrift store the other day, I came across one of Rush's (relatively) recent albums, Snakes & Arrows, from 2007. I decided to take a flyer on it, and I'm glad I did -- because it RAWKS. Seriously. This is excellent heavy rock/prog rock that hearkens back to Rush's glory years. The last Rush record that I listened to closely was Power Windows. And that came out in, er, . . . 1985. . . .Yeah, it's been a while.

Fred Anderson - The Missing Link (Nessa)

For sure. He says, "after students graduate, it's open season"?!?! Yikes! Talk about being tone deaf to what's happening. Sheesh.
