Excuse, no. But justify? Absolutely!

I guess this is why I've kept my LPs.

It's even been Andorrianized. Personally,, I think the sound is so poor that it's something to listen to once just to say you've heard it.

Jack DeJohnette - started the decade as a cognoscenti-favored sideman, emerged as as a headliner of a leader and an almost universally acclaimed master drummer.

Joe Zawinul. As for Wayne, if we're looking at "emerging" as a "giant" to have marketplace implications, I think you can argue the point that he didn't truly "emerge" until the 2000s, when he had a regular working/recording band. And if we don't want to look at "emerging" in those terms, but instead look at it just in terms of unique talent emerging into the world of recordings and word-of-mouth, then suddenly the 70s become VERY fertile ground indeed.

Socially responsible stickiness, beauty and beast become one, let the reign of sticky-peace begin.

Hitler was a pretty emo guy. The death of Glen Frey hit him hard. Me, I was just like, oh, well, ok, that happened. BURP. I move on, Hitler emos himself into a tizzy. That's the difference between me and Hitler, at least as it pertains to our relationship with Pop Culture.

Their ship is so tight that the tables literally ooze syrup. Thus the stickiness. FEMA digs Waffle house: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffle_House_Index

Uh...overwrought is the result, not the tools, and not the process.

Nothing but a chuckle about the label's ongoing artistic cachet and continuing commercial viability was enhanced, not diminished, by all the after-the-fact issue of vault material. Cuscuna and everybody else who pumped that stuff out back in the day have been proven to have served both art and commerce in equal measure. Let that be a lesson to us all!

Them, plus this: Realizing that there's all kinds of ways to fall between the cracks and/or disappear, I'll ask advisedly - Keno Duke? Where/When/How? The cat certainly had no trouble getting a good band together, that's for sure!

How many of these were actually released in their time?!?!?!

Wasn't sure what to think of this, but then noticed song titles like "Lucumi" and "Chango"...now I'm curious.

Yeah, no matter how digital everything gets, at some point time remains analog. Don Was/Was NOT!

I actually like Gato's A&M stuff. It had a good bedroom quotient in its time. Then again, I'm a boomer, so maybe these kids today don't like it like that, what with all their condoms and shit. Different, uh....strokes?

Here's another one:

Hell, Steve Lacy was a case of perpetual emergence!

Never mind individual "giants" (or if you have to look at that, look at how many of them re-emerged in the 70s, a whole big buttload. iirc), consider how many new and lasting evolutions of the vocabulary (aka "styles") emerged. And not for nothing was the 70s the first post-Segregation decade of the music.

I think you looked at the cover and thought it was a bowling session. An understandable enough error, certainly.

Don't believe what anybody else tells you, pro or con. Find it out for yourself. There's enough on You Tube for you do that. Here's an enchanting (sic) OP cut. A stroke is nothing I'd wish on anybody, but from an objective musical standpoint, slowing that motherfucker down certainly did not harm his playing any, if this is any indication.

Henry Threadgill & Julius Hemphill, for two. If you look at "emerged" as a combination of fully finding a voice and then developing an identity in the marketplace, McCoy Tyner. Dewey Redman.

Yeah, well, it works the other way too, "regular people" will say that if you don't like Artist X (and state your reason), it's because you're a ______ and/or a ______, and c'mon peoples, some shit some people just don't like and they have their reasons, just as people who do like it have theirs. From a business perspective, it's all too often actual warfare, but from a civilian perspective, look for the commonalities, I say. I can bond with all sorts of people over those, but if they want to war over differences, I can do that too. But the older I get (and the more so much of this type of music recedes as an active interest), the less fun it is to do so.

But they still got Pujols signed for another two years, there's a synergy there just waiting to be leveraged. Moreno playin' that long game!

Frankly, now that he's dead and now that I listen less and less to things that he's on (not by choice, mind you, just evolving listening regimens), I find myself not thinking too much about him, and not getting riled up when I do. True, I generally just don't like him, but at some point it's like, you know, the guy's dead, he did what he did, there it lies, ok, let's move on.
