Yep.  Started there and have been fanning outward.

Carlos Garnett - Let this Melody Ring On (Muse, 1975)

Man, this record is good.

Just all kind of zaniness going on, but with great tenor playing too.

I remember finding a used copy of that LP decades ago, with a lush version of "Take the A Train." Glad that Might Quinn reissued it on CD before ceasing operations.

Well, I discovered that LP while I was working on my 70s jazz blog.  I liked the album -- but it didn't whack me upside the head, so I didn't dig more deeply. 

Recently, I circled back around to Jackie & Roy again, and this time I really fell hard for them.  A Wilder Alias and other stuff besides.  I've been listening to them a lot lately.  I've discovered that I really enjoy most of their music thru the years -- but especially their recordings from the 1970s and 1980s. 

It's been fun.

I think this LP may be where Donald Fagen picked up the "Ricki" riff.

Yep! 2 LP's I could  play again.

[jazzcorner]

Re: the recently mentioned Roy Kral And Jackie Cain

Both appear in an early Charlie Ventura concert . This concert is released on 2 different labels & vinyls

My favorite is their interpretation "I'm forever blowing bubbles"  with great supporting artists.

Both LP's highly recommended
