For some reason I thought the Clark tune was a longer title but yeah, when I got home, just one word...

We have tendency to nit-pick on this board, and I certainly haven't made enough time or space for Blakey and Silver. Don't know why - the Messengers are obviously a revered band for a reason, but it just never hit me. Just as Unit Structures might not hit a lot of people the way it does me, I might add...

I agree, ideally improvisation is like viewing a Monet in natural lighting.

I'm petrified, mortified, stupified, mystified. How can we even have a discussion like this without mentioning Hank Mobley save to dis his version of "The Turnaround"? This borders on treason. Maybe it's just that there are so many good tunes that it's too hard to choose one. For me, that would be "Remember" from "Soul Station". A good medium tempo, toe tappin' tune wholly representative of the best of Blue Note. Hank, Wynton, Blakey...I mean, c'mon, does it really get any better than this?

I'm officially demanding by means of this post that "Remember" be added to the CD. If it isn't, I'm pickin' up my ball and goin' home. Furthermore, I won't buy this when it does comes out. So there.

Up over and out.
