Glad to see they've put both LPs on one CD! There's at least one more in the series - a Blakey set with the Morgan/Shorter Fuller/Walton band.

I was actually a semi-regular reader of Trouser Press for a while. ca. 1976-77. Started reading it for the set sale lists in the back, trying to get a feel on what records were generating good asking prices, but soon started reading the music articles as well. Plenty of exposure for all kinds of the new rock musics of the day, both live and recorded. As alluded to earlier, Television was gaining a lot of notice long before they made Marques Moon, which IIRC, was treated like a Sonny Rollins Milestone records in some quartesr, aka Well, it's good, but it's SO much better live...

I ignored Television the first time around...iirc, they were late getting to record compared to their peers and I had already kinda come and was beginning to go with that whole scene of music, began getting back into hard/harder/hardest jazz. so they did not make an impression on me other than, hey, nice jangles there, kids. As the years passed, I heard some things that were more in line with what Joe posted, and they always sounded good. And revisiting Marquee Moon is...not unpleasant. RIP

Which one will the mountain bless?

If recent records are any indication, Allen has been playing just fine.

Too much of not enough.

Yeah, Captain Lee, that's another one... Too much manufactured drama for me, and if it's not manufactured, all the worse. There's enough glorification of the dysfunctional as it is.

Captain Sandy has not impressed me at all. My wife likes her though.

Inactivity has not stood me well in this regard - as Mark notes, "Solar" is indeed a 12 bar form. Which, actually...moving as it does from an opening C (minor) to an F (major) tonality, makes one wonder if Wayne was not writing a cleverly suggested blues form that really isn't a blues?!?!?! Cm/Cm/Gmin7/C7 Fmaj7/Fmaj7/Fmin7/Bb7 Eb/Dm7-G7/Cm/Dmb5-G7 Clever and crafty both!

One could well make a stronger case for "Tune Up" being related to HHTM, if one really wanted to make cases at all. Its tonics move down in whole steps, which is more or less the point of HHTM, right? At least it is until it isn't, LOL. One can be clever and easily interpolate one into the other, if one has that type of inclination. But is it really relevant to much of anything? I would love to defer to The Quotesmaster General, Dexter Gordon, but he ain't here no more.

Consider also the first half of the bridge to "Four Brothers". "Devices" abound in diatonic harmony-based musics. At this point (and at that one) they're pretty much built in to the notion of "songs".

No, he's not!

It was quite welcome at the time, before its shortcomings slowly revealed themselves.
