I didn't realize it was downbeat's critic's choice for album of the year until it came up recently on the "Favorite 1980s Albums" thread.

Same reason that I was revisiting it.

And, I guess it reflects the state of mainstream jazz in the early / mid 80s. It does stand out among its peers.

Truly great truly odd record.

I had it on vinyl but sold it recently because noone else in the house would tolerate it, despite putting up with Ayler, Nonaah and a hundred other worse things.

Interesting. I find it to be graceful and soothing.

That is a Hal Wilner project - very much a producer driven program. There are more:

An understandably even-handed response.

Of the three others that you mentioned, would you recommend any?

Other than the Rota album, this is the one I think actually works in ways that the others don't/don't quite.

and so forth.

a study in contrasts...

 

It's one of those records that justifies itself simply by having been done.

Fans of Smile, take note...and wipe that smile off your face. That was then, this is now.

Every day, surviving death, we send out our horses.
They don’t come back.

Here the dry river’s a place not to camp,
the night a place not to be.

An army gathers rattling its pans, thinking of home,
an army that will turn your head

to a fire in the sand where those
who've survived this wait out of time

in the dust and the gold,
with the horse you thought was gone.

I like the Rota and Weill and haven't listened to the Mingus enough to have an opinion. I bought a copy on impulse and forgot about it.

I think I have them all except the Disney because  I don 't like those songs.   Did I make a mistake?

Such a great set. Disc 8 is the start of the Blanton-Webster era iirc.

Yessir!  You're correct on both counts.  :)
