HWright Posted July 27, 2020 Author Report Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Update: I listened to both Compost albums on Spotify and found that while they’re still not really classics I enjoy them more now than 10 years ago. A few weeks later I found the CD’s in a box while looking for something else and listened to them again. I have now added them on the shelf with my other Jack De Johnette CD’s. Edited July 27, 2020 by HWright Removing reference to months. Quote

felser Posted July 28, 2020 Report Posted July 28, 2020 The Compost albums hold period charm for me - I'm glad to have the CD's. I like the first Dreams album a LOT, find the second one to be a total waste (available as a twofer on BGO with great remastering). Have only heard youtube clips of Archie Whitewater, and thought they sounded good there. Dreams and Compost were both on Columbia, as were Chicago, BST, Ballinjack, etc. Quote
Jim Duckworth Posted July 28, 2020 Report Posted July 28, 2020 I'm quite interested in Life Is Round by Compost as it has local (Memphis) legend and my one-time teacher Ed Finney on guitar. I fail to find it all that compelling despite my interest in the personel. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 28, 2020 Report Posted July 28, 2020 I gave up on the group after the first record. Sorry if I missed something. I like Jack. Quote

David Ayers Posted July 29, 2020 Report Posted July 29, 2020 Just sampled the first (oh my...) and now airing the second. Of their time. Here they are on spotters: https://open.spotify.com/album/3uJP7nWIcPWLukgze1O8xM?si=aQqqF2EnQ-qlxqdbWOdvGQ https://open.spotify.com/album/63Oi2Q3wjNP7HphziH6tlp?si=WYQxi1xmTeK_-I7I5WdESQ "on the sea/of tranquility..." etc. Quote
