keys in hand, ready to go out the door, and trane and elvin playing welcome come through the speakers. one trip is slightly delayed.

to have a recording stop a train of activity after having heard it for 47 years, even owning it, is some kind powerful work.

which piece of music or artist stops you in those very tracks, after all these years?

Well, I couldn't quite get that you were going out leaving the record player, or whatever, on. That wouldn't happen to me.

But sometimes I'll play something and, even though I've had and loved it for decades, I've just got to sit still and listen to it (unless my wife wants me for something). Last album that happened with was Harold Vick's "Don't look back"; led to me playing it quite a bit in recent months (including yesterday). Another was Shirley Scott's "Drag 'em out".

Many, almost any tune can do that to me, depending on my mood. The most consistent ones are Mingus's Better Get Hit In Yo' Soul, from Mingus Mingus, etc. and any of the tunes on CHARLES MINGUS PRESENTS CHARLES MINGUS. They grab my attention, get the blood flowing, can change my moods.
