Excellent Thelonious Monk homage ....

Now on my turntable:

Lester Swings. 

[Teasing the Korean]

Gary McFarland - Point of Departure (impulse!, stereo)

[adh1907]

From my Dad’s collection. 60 plus years old record, sounding great. 22/6 LSD purchase price. Probably expensive at that time.

This was my first Monk album.  1968.  The cover art had Monk flying like Superman.

Perhaps nostalgia, but this is a big favorite of mine.

I saw the lineup for this date and thought, "Wow, this is going to be great". But it wasn't really that great. I was pretty disappointed, to be honest.

[clifford_thornton]

I think it is a good record but not necessarily a great one.

More than any of his other albums, this is the one where Gary seemed to deliberately blend his jazz and pop proclivities.  But he has better jazz albums and better pop albums.

yeah, I would believe that to be true.

Nice album, good news.

I have a turntable technoidiot story to end all others but I'm not sharing it in public

NP:

The Complete Pacific Jazz And Capitol Recordings Of The Original Gerry Mulligan Quartet And Tentette With Chet Baker

This is just a fabulous collection I can't believe I left it so long to properly acquaint myself with this music

Armonicord is killer! Picked it up semi-randomly at La Dame Blanche in Paris around 23 years ago (only knew a couple of musicians on the record) and was blown away. The recent archival CD on NoBusiness (featuring a similar lineup) is also splendid.

Not sure if the art work on some of the early Liberty jazz LPs have gotten full props for being as strange as they were.
