Turns out this is music to watch the snow fall by. Snowing right now. It usually does this second half of April. And usually it's the LAST snowfall. Let's hope so.

A truly Terrific session.  Lee Morgan  plays beautifully, and Hank Mobley is in tip  top form. Hank solos with both passion and intensity. And to make it even better there are two tunes never previously recorded - "Quick Trick" and "Jimerick". It's a shame it has been hidden in the vaults for so many years. This is , for me, a 5 star album.

This is great.  I have the LP.  Overdue for a spin.

Next up:

An extraordinary ordinary dance date -- and a particular favorite of mine.

There's an offhand quality about it that I love.  So relaxed.  It's perfect.

I also have this (present from my wife) . Strange the back beat rhythm on "Light Blue" which always let me wonder how Monk´s career could have continued through the 70s if he also changed the rhythm of some of his tunes from swing to slightly rock and using fender bass instead of acoustic, like Diz did in the 70s and 60´s when he played Con Alma with a rock beat and so on.....

But Art Tayler, who seemed to have been a strictly straight ahead swinger, seems to have difficulties with it. On the alternate takes you hear how "stiff" it sounds. Anyway, if Monk would have continued that way he sure would have landed a "hit" like Morgan´s Sidewinder.....

Of course I never had heard that name, but is the title tune Conception played in the Miles version (with the pedal point in it) or in the original written  AABA form ?

Why "of course"? He's France's answer to Kinny Dorham.

As to your question, it's a bit technical for a non-musician like me.

Now playing:

One of my favourites, since it was the second Mingus LP I bought or better said my mother saw it in London and bought it for me. I don´t know how often we spinned it and hummed all the tunes. A friend of mine was especially fond of "Moaning" (has nothing to do with Timmons  ´Moanin´).
