JOE FARRELL'S SKATEBOARD PARK!

[pasta]

loving this lp right now- other thoughts?

[DTMX]

I like it. I think it got its title because the recording studio overlooked a skateboard park. I read a really weird review by some skatepunk kid who bought the CD because it had the word "skateboard" in the title. He was expecting something that sounded like the Offspring. I'll have to unleash my Google-fu upon the internets to see if I can find it...

CRAZY!

I'm a skatepunk, and it's a fine album. I haven't played it for a while, I'll have to dust it off.

if only we could edit out the chick corea track, i would substitute dave grusin on every hank mobley album, if only chick wouldn;t of done this date w/ joe

Definitely a good album. Especially for late-era Joe.

So I can't find this CD anywhere because such dimwits bought all the remaining copies?

having only owned (and enjoyed) the cd, i hadn't ever seen the original cover until now:

FWIW, this album (as well as many other Xanadu albums) is available on eMusic.

am i drunk or does the title track sound like the title track of puttin it together? maybe just farrell's solo? skateboard park is a little more swinging and a bit faster but i think they are pretty much the same.

We've found a way to market jazz to 'young people'!
