The Inimitable Teddy Edwards (Xanadu)
Everything comes together perfectly here. A great record.

Willie Maiden!

Little use for Chris Connor, a non-deadly "affection" for Maynard, but damn did he let his writers write, and this one's a gem.

Free-associating from Maynard brought me here:

I love Chris but not at all on this; she and the band are on different planets. Amazing chart.

Don Sebesky for this one. I like how him & Willie & Slide could be pretty forward thinking harmonically (in terms of traditional big band writing, at least) and still keep it between the lines for "Maynard fans". It's like they all spoke that particular language and passed it back and forth from chart to chart.

Connor has never clicked for me, but I think I like at least the idea of her. In time, perhaps.

Pour me another drink, Frank.

I can take or leave Chris Connor, but the arrangement sounds like someone trying to show off their cleverness, rather than creating an accompaniment for the singer. "Different planets", indeed.
