I'll have to respectfully disagree on all counts. Tyrone's spirit was in a unique zone of it's own. Don't think I can say that about Garnett's, which is not a at all dis. But compare Tyrone w/Horace & Garnett w/Blakey for an at least 50% relevant comparison. The difference is focus of intent & execution (whatever the source of that focus might have been). Tyrone had it & Garnett was working on it. That's the difference to me.

Black Love has become a cult classic among the "spiritual" crowd, but frankly I think it's one of the lesser works of the genre. Garnett had a 1996 (recorded in 1995) date on Muse (Resurgence that's a decent enough "neo-con" effort. Still nothing to shout about, though, not really. On the whole, I think of Garnett (who was living/gigging in Houston last I heard - 3 or 4 years ago) as one of the "foot soldiers" of the music, a guy who's out there doing it. Even if the results make little or no difference to the world at large, hey - they make a difference to him, and he keeps on doing it for that reason. Somebody's gonna hear him and be reached at some level. That deserves at least some respect in my book.

So, what happened to Paul Desmond's tune?

Good, fair, and true points. But... The game-losing interception was not thrown while BleedSoul was under particularly heavy pressure. Now, you can say that he had been under so much pressure all day that he might not have been able to find his zone. And you may well be right. But I'll counter that a "champion" caliber player carpe diems in a situation like that and doesn't throw that interception. And I may well be right. And then we mambo!

Yep. Again.

That's because you only die once.

I have the LP, and I gotta tell you - it's for completists only, imo. Mingus during his "medicated" period, and nothing really special happens.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck couldn't chuck wood but gave it his all anyway, bless his little heart?

WTF?

Give it to Pixar and have Ralph Bakshi direct it. Then we could have some fun.

How many birthday threads should one look for in a reasonably well-tailored birthday suit?

Yeah, the two cuts w/Mike Deasy are dispensible. No doubt. But the rest of it ranges from good to great, I think. Mostly great, if you ask me. There's likely to be more and/or unedited material. Same, only moreso. with the aforementioned The {rice You Got To Pay To Be Free, which is another one that deserves to be heard.

Cicely Tyson!

Did they call her Petrie because she was such a dish?

I still think you got Griff on there.
