Lucy has a "hair appointment" so I am getting a bonus listening session in and continuing with 

Miles Davis, "Water Babies" Columbia cd, from the Complete Columbia Albums box set

29-WATERBABIES.jpg

Great, different music on both sides of this original album, I really wanted to hear side 1 this time, the second great Quintet. 

This cover always brings me back to childhood in Philadelphia. . . we had one neighbor Dad who brought out a big monkey wrench a few times each summer and opened up a water hydrant and kids flocked to frolic in the outpouring of water for about an hour before city workers came out to wrench it closed again. Ah, simple fun urban childhood times.

I believe I read that Sean Levitt is the son of drummer Al Levitt. He is guitar player who reminds me slightly of Jimmy Raney or Doug Raney.  This is the first time I heard him. I like his playing.

Now playing. Yes, I think you're on to a good one there, Peter. :tup

When that LP came out in 1976, I thought of it almost like a ‘Dead Sea Scrolls’ linking the Sorcerer era on side 1 with the ‘Dual Mr Tillman Anthony’ stuff on side 2 as a missing link into the ‘In A Silent Way’ period. A real humdinger release at the time, when Miles was otherwise silent. 

I don’t think Tony Williams’ drums was ever recorded better by Columbia than he was on those side 1 tracks.

It was a really exciting release when it came out. I can even remember when I picked it up and where, and I've loved this music ever since.

Yeah - I remember hearing one track on side one and the whole of side 2 being broadcast on a radio show, liking it from the off and buying the LP very soon after.

Listening to this for the first time. I was familiar with Ponomarev from his work with Blakey and his debut Means of Identification, but this is in a much higher league than that latter record.

What's Sweet Basil like? I see it has John Hicks in the piano seat.

Whistle Stop is one of my BN faves too.  Superb!
