Tone, rhythm, energy, a lot of things. But not too many people are honest about what they can or cannot hear, or what they are actually listening to. The whole "there are no wrong answers" thing is bullshit. Of course there are. So an opinion is only as good as what it's based on. So a person who makes a statement about something they're not able to actually hear.. that type of opinion has zero credibility Be careful with nouns and adjectives, that's all I'm saying.

LP only?

I wonder what some people really hear, much less are able to listen to.

Chronologically yes. But that's as far as it goes, God willing.

I'm still looking for that date of his where Gil Evans wrote the charts.

Then I can wait, or else die first. Either way, none for me, thanks.

Boomer vanity never dies.

For how much is a $30 LP going to sell for in a used record store 20 years from now?

Quite! I would also like to throw in on A Man Ain't Supposed To Cry, which is as good or better a Sinatra record as all but 2-3 actual Sinatra records, and Williams' amazing performance on Cannonball's Big Man.

Not really...

That one was a pop hit.

That's when you get promoted to Jazz Martyr.

Yep.

It was exhilarating at first.

He plays on both, but is in no way a "significant" contributor. He's just there reinforcing the melodies, mostly.

I don't know, maybe it is? All Chet Baker records "sound alike" to me after a while.

Apparently it has always been one to be selected:

Glass loves the relentless. Me, not so much.

I have long toyed with the idea of an all spoken word BFT drawing solely on musicians speaking Would Cannonball be on it? Damn straight he would!

Glass insists. Feldman allows.
