JSngry Posted September 3, 2021 Report Posted September 3, 2021 Don't Ask - Sonny Rollins In 1979, I was ambivalent about it except one or two cuts (aks "Milestone Syndrome"), but 40+ years later I keep reaching for it and the ambivalence recedes into simple pleasure at hearing a tenor played like that. Nobody could do it then, nobody can do it now, nobody will likely ever do it again. And...the stuff that I was not ambivalent about in 1979...all in.

From a soul jazz point of view, 1979 was a bloody crappy year. Not much in my list ANYONE here would like. And some that I only like for special reasons.
