There were definitely some high style

in the studio when they recorded this.

I quite like these bits, where they forget The Jazz.

Almost.

It is over.

It was a total waste of time.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 1 star.

Yes, I liked the Non-Jazz bits.

Although it seemed to be more of a John McLaughlin than a Miles Davis album.

Well, that was quite anticlimactic.

I was swayed to listen to this (over the other two 'jazz' options) tonight because I had a quick scan of the Wikipedia page and saw that it was considered at the time something of a controversy (a la Bob Dylon going electric).

But it was instead undemanding and mostly pleasantly soporific.

Also, I understand that as a bandmaster (and not only a trumpet player) MD is doing so much more than just acting as one sonic element in the band, but still!

We hardly heard him playing.

And half the time I think I thought it was a saxamaphone I thought.

by Nightjar Thu Jun 08, 2023 7:44 pm

Still, time.

What do any of us know?

We weren't there.

bawl

It could have been Wayne Shorter, or whatever his name is.
