Holy Ghost

Right up there with Virgin Classics, Decca is a great classical music label.

Great sleeve art...wait I get the "8"; four seasons + concertos. 4 +4=8 🤯

My wife bought seats for the season at Severance Hall, this dude blew us away back in October: Piano: Daniil Trifonov. Program: Brahms, Franz Welser-Möst, conductor. We still talk about it today. Can't wait, next is Mozart's Jupiter Symphony in January, same conductor.

One of the best guitarists ever Like Randy Rhodes/Jimmy Paige/Tony Iommi good, that good. And in Jazz.... Like this dude Tony Iommi good: He even cites all the Pacific Jazz records he listened to including Jim Hall and Joe Pass.

Eddie Gladden alone is worth the price of admission.

Love the sleeve, makes me want to find a warm blanket and grab a mug of coco. Love these photos with Howard McGhee: Anyway:

Backwards again (and I created this system? Wow. Fail).

Yep. But I am going even more backwards, and I don't believe this is a bad thing:

Lols, how did I skip Warne Marsh! I've already moved ahead (or back) to Jackie. This system isn't working...

Lols, I know I'm doomed listening to music this way, maybe by Christmas, I'll hear some Mingus.

This sleeve is wicked! Trying to work my way back to Mingus (I think I'm ripping off a Captain and Tennille lyric)...why are there so many greats whose names start with M? McLean, Mobley, Morgan, Mulligan...frustrating...and I just got to McCann.

Night cap:

I hope this is still happening, was just thinking of Hugh Walker after a huge Big John listening rehearsal. Perfect drummer, think this dude made total sense in this genre.

Already posted, but this record is blowing my mind...wow!!!

Whoever is conducting this research got to talk to Marvin Cabell, GMIII, wowwww, alright, alright. Like, maybe I'll like it. No chance talking to Hugh Walker? That dude was badass, right up there with Eddie Gladden and Idris Mohamed!

👍 Found it in the dollar bin. Couldn't believe it! One of the most wicked jazz records of the 70's.

WOWW!! About Pharoah, he never hid behind Trane, he was always Pharoah, love that about him!

It was Vince Guaraldi and this man that got me hooked on jazz at 8 years old: Love this dude, and my wife loves him too. 👍 I think this is fair to say, given it's just a thesis and not a disseratation. Maybe some more research would benefit us....still interesting though, especially if Big John left the music buisness, just because he didn't like the packaging of his music.

Really? She's cute, probally oceania, don't understand this at all however. Even Muslim men have relations with white women. Now, and tired this hasn't been made more available.

Almost late 60's Aylerish at times, great record! Just editing to wonder where would Jackie could've gone? I imagine he'd be full-blown out there by '69. So wish to hear that rejected BN session from 68. Alas....
