clifford_thornton Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) Man B, that is a good one - the cover says it all!

joeface Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 this is the topper for me, only because of how the album title completes the band name band name: I Farm album title: So My Kids Won't Have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Sorry to get "serious" but I think Roscoe Mitchell's "Sound" kills the funny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny E Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'm kinda fond of David Crosby's "If I could Only Remember My Name" Also, Neil Young - "Everyone Knows This is Nowhere" Grateful Dead - "Aoxomoxoa" Jimi Hendrix - "Axis: Bold as Love" Jefferson Airplane - "After Bathing at Baxter's" Psychedelic rock bands tended to have good ones.

Alexander Hawkins Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Taking Chuck's serious cue, I think as statements of intent, alongside 'Sound', 'This is Our Music' and 'Change of the Century' are hard to beat... My unhelpful suggestion: McClusky's 'The Difference Between You and Me is that I'm not on Fire' is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Yeah, Sound is a wonderful album title - especially considering the era and the aesthetic the AACM were going for. Also good is Levels and Degrees of Light (which, by the way, is a motherfucker of a record). Other serious(ly) good album titles: Sonny Sharrock - Black Woman Frank Wright - Uhuru Na Umoja Bill Dixon - Intents and Purposes And I've always been slayed by Afrodisiaca - both the title and the cover concept, not to mention the music...

JSngry Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Sound is indeed one TuffAss title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Also good is Levels and Degrees of Light (which, by the way, is a motherfucker of a record). Too right - listening to it right now, and it's incredible. I love Muhal's piano playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Bill Dixon - Intents and Purposes For some silly reason I've always referred to this record as "In Tents With Porpoises". This thread inspired me to play said Dixon date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
