I think Rollins + Four was the first album I bought with money I had earned. Our record player was in the living room, where my Dad typically would sit down after dinner on the couch to read  the newspaper, while I quite obsessively for a time played "Pent Up House" over and over -- fascinated by Brownie's solo, particularly the burbling grace-noted passage toward the end, with Max boiling underneath. Finally one night my Dad looked up from his paper and said, "Don't you have another record!"

I think that your father should have been pleased, when you think about what most teen-agers were listening to back then.

Ha! I can't help repeating one of my jazz-obsessed-teenager-interacting-with-a-parent stories, although I know I've told it here before. I was 15 or 16, and had just found the Bird and Diz Verve LP, on which Norman Granz hired Buddy Rich to play drums. I was spinning it in the living room when my sweet mom walked through, carrying a basket of laundry. She stopped, listened for half a minute, and said, "That drummer doesn't really fit with the rest of the musicians, does he?"

Now playing:

Tom McDermott and Connie Jones - Creole Nocturne (Arbors). RIP, Mr. Jones.

"EXPOSED to listening to today", you mean ...

My mother actually has a somewhat narrow but perfectly decent taste in music but some of my friends' parents...

I seem to be on a vintage '57 Pepper kick at the moment.

Kenny Barron - New York Attitude (Uptown, rec. 1984)
with Rufus Reid & Freddie Waits

Kenny Drew Jr. - Winter Flower: This is only my second album of his.  I've had his marvelous Maybeck album for years and a sideman appearance on an album by saxophonist Hal Melia, so I was overdue to hear more of his work.  I stand by my earlier assertion that he was underrated.
