I'd avoided them until now, because I thought they were a bit Pitchfork. Stupid prejudgement to make, which will be corrected.

Terrific band whatever Pitchfork are saying. Great live too, playing London in November

Yes, the mixing has really brought the presentation forward and added clarity to the instrumental separation.

Exactly. I couldn't agree more

Now spinning Now!

Powerful stuff!  Music that isn't constrained by the usual boundaries and conventions of genre, an experiment that comes off beautifully.

Gene McDaniels should've received a front-cover "Featuring" credit to go along with Harold Land's.

 

Unrelated to the music: How about that photo of Bobby. The word that comes to mind is "baked."

Spinning this one to start the day because I had to stop it fifteen minutes in yesterday to deal with family stuff and the system was shut down for the rest of the day. . . .

Bud is playing really well here.

VERY much appreciate the "anatomy of a track" takes of "Perfect Man" (which seems to intersect with Eddie Harris somehow, somewhere, from whatever directions), plus the inclusion of "Space Probe"...which in hindsight is a prediction of the nightmare that the "real world" came to embrace and OD on basic electronic sound effects in the upcoming decade. Not that that's what he had in mind, but...all a prophet can do is predict what is going to happen, not how it will go once it does, right? :g

The actual album OG itself, it's nice, I like that a lot.

Maybe I missed a discussion on it, but why did Monk's estate get the rights to this recording? It was issued by 3 different labels in 1987 (Dragon, DIW & Secret) and then went out of print until Thelonious Records put it out in 2002.

I honestly don't have any sort of educated answer. . . I think that the Monk Family had come to the conclusion (probably erroneously) that it was an unofficial bootleg and so they just flat put it out. All their discs didn't stay in print long. In 2012 DIW reissued it again I believe.
