Miles Davis "Circle in the Round" CBS/Sony 2 cd set (from the "Complete Columbia Albums" box) disc 1

Listening particularly to the title track, which is a fascinating lengthy piece.

Great Cover Photography ....

I have a soft spot for Gordon. I'd have liked to have seen where he'd have gone had he not been so linked with Marsalis / JatLC. From the post fame end of Marsalis' career when, to my ears, he sometimes seemed to be doing pedagogical reenactment rather than playing anything "true", Gordon always stuck out as the guy who was a bit more real within the retro setting than anyone else. Perhaps I am talking drivel.

Anyway, how is this one?

So much love for that, one of the first jazz box sets I ever bought. My copy is beat to hell around the edges because I’ve carried it to work so often in a bag. Same with the Monk Blue Note set that came out around the same time.

Right now:

Started off with this one again. It has so much going for it and the closing Minnie Ripperton cover gets me every time.

Now on to
Ella Fitzgerald "This is the Blues" Verve cd.

What is the story behind this cover? It's not your typical Impulse! cover. Was it Roy's idea?

No idea of the story behind the cover. They look pretty awkward though, don't they? Not the natural habitat, you might say. 🙁

Ironically, Rahsaan looks the most comfortable. He's got him a walking stick. He's ready!

OTOH, Tommy Flanagan looks the most out of place. "The woods?!?  Get me outta here!"  

 

Now playing:
