So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

I listened to these 3 albums while drafting their entries for my 80s jazzblog:

How about that 1976.

[HutchFan]

Next up:

Sarah Vaughan with Michel Legrand (Mainstream, 1972)

Legrand's arrangements oscillate between the extremes of intensely baroque and just-too-damn-much.  I wish he would've throttled it back, if only a little -- because Sassy sounds divine and the songs suit her.

Lateef's best record of the 1970s, I think.

Part of the Search and Ten Years Hence are at least every bit as interesting for me.

Fair enough.  I've heard both of those before, but it's been years.  Maybe it's time to circle back 'round again.

IIRC, this was the first record where Sonny had a mike hooked up/on to the bell of his horn so he could walk around while he recorded. Of course, you would hear pad noise and other odd sounds, but oh well. It seems to have unleashed him in the studio that hadn't happened in a loooooong time.

Plastic Dogs - Ivert 

Why does jazz metal always have to sound like this?

Edit: Correction. They self-describe as "jazzcore". The suffix of death.
