He's got a couple piano solos. But other than that...

I've also hear rumors that they took "Sodomy" and "Colored Spade" out on the road for a quick minute.

I don't know about CS, but "Sodomy" and  "Aquarius" were played on the road in 1970. The Hair album is mostly pretty bad,  but everyone seemed to be giving it their all.  Bud Brisbois on high trumpet.

Powell at his most Tatumesque, in my view.

The Hair album was somehow already in the band hall when I started my freshman year, so I came to pretty much know it inside and out whether I want to or not. 😗 

My opinion at this late date is that the instrumentals are fine, the vocal numbers are horrid, and that there are waaay too many more vocals than instrumentals.

And yes, Bud Brisbois! Come to think of it, that's why the album had infiltrated our band hall. We had a small but rabid devotees of people who did that type of thing, and was certainly one of the better!

Love this one. It’s the CD I miss the most, largely because it is really hard to stream.

That's a pity. Melodical stuff here ... I love it to ... sometimes a raw track that i love less. I am surprised what some Hiphop cd's cost.

A lot of very wealthy fans in tech and finance, I guess.

Jimmy Heath - The Quota

Never quite understood why this one gets comparatively little recognition with the reissue crowd, because its a hell of a record.

I think we’re entering our Indian Summer, and the moon is so bright!

Forgot I had bought this box set and had only listened to “Hejira” twice before setting it aside. So. . . Joni Mitchell “Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter” is playing now.

I always forget how domineering Jaco Pasorious is on this album. I wish he had been a bit more. . . toned down. My favorite track remains the beautiful beautiful “Silky Veils or Ardor.” Just an amazing performance. The highlights of this album for me are Joni’s beautiful guitar playing and her layered vocals when she overdubs.

One of my friends once told me “Hell would be three discs of ‘Paprika Plains’ alternate takes.” I get his point but I do like “Paprika Plains”–and the piano playing sound so good here.

John Guerin’s drums have always impressed me on this album. For some reason this listen he his work reminded me of Sonny Greer’s.

This reissue revives the alternate, non-controversial, new cover.

Another very cool morning. . . with a bright moon. I wanted to sleep more but Fiona the dachshund had other plans.

Starting off the day with the new cd from the daughter of two of my favorite musicians, Dora Morelenbaum. Her father and mother, Jacques and Paula were instrumental in so much of the Brazilian music I love. Nice, contemporary recording . . . more “MPB” than her parents’ musics but I’m enjoying it.
