I have it on vinyl. Most of it is moody 1950s oddball jazz. The two songs with cow and dish in the titles have sped-up chipmunk voices and are like Ken Nordine-esqe nightmares. I think it has been reissued on CD, and I think you'd like it.

Better than you'd think, not as good as it might have been.

Some of the tunes remind me of Carla Bley's earlier work.

It's funny, the personnel was not released with the CD, you had to go to a website to get it, but Elvin was immediately identifiable, as were Sweets, Taylor, Burrell, & Toots.

For me, the whole thing falls into a category of Things That Are More Serious Than They Appear, Intentionally Or Not.

Better than you'd think, not as good as it might have been.

Pretty much. The songs are way too short for anything to really get happening so all you're left with is potential.

Not any shorter than a few decades worth of 78s...
