ilm where posters would rather argue over spiritual hats than music

hats, bicycles and jazz FTW

I'd say either Unit Structures or Conquistador! is the place to start for small-group Cecil. xp

Destination Out is great. McLean, Hutcherson, and Moncur collaborated on a few records around this time, maybe most notably Moncur's two GREAT records "Evolution" and "Some Other Stuff." If I'd gotten my act together to vote for this, both of those would have made my top 20 easy (Some Other Stuff probably top ten).
I saw the reunited band in Grant Park in Chicago in the 90s. Everyone was great, except Moncur. Nevertheless a great event.
― broom air, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:03 (twelve years ago) link
cool, yeah moncur's records are ones i've been meaning to get to.
― tylerw, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:06 (twelve years ago) link
It will blow your mind!
― broom air, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
The Moncur Mosaic Select set is probably the way to go: has Evolution, Some Other Stuff, and the McLean records he's on.
― shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 2 September 2011 15:14 (twelve years ago) link
aren't all the mosaic boxes long OOP?
― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
Nope, some of them are just "Running Low."
― Olivia Newsun John (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 2 September 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link
the "select" boxes are usually more available, i think. this one is on amazon, anyway. but i think i could get all the albums it covers for cheaper separately. anyway, listening to Destination Out right now -- sounding awesome.

― Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:23 (twelve years ago) link
maybe a little bit challopsy, but i've never gotten too into brilliant corners, something about it seems like a bit of a chore, it's missing the humor/playfulness of my favorite monk recordings? I don't know, maybe it'll click at some point.

that miles record is so so good -- the opening of coltrane's solo on the title track is burned into my brain
(dooo doot doo doot doot doot dooooo...doo doooooo)
― D-40, Friday, 2 September 2011 15:27 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, that "round midnight" is pretty much top 10 all time jazz.

Right on. I was hoping this would place in the top 20.

I was actually expecting Unit Structures to make it.

Charlie Parker Story will still place but having doubts about birds of fire and hot rats if they dont show up in the next 5 places. This isnt going to be a jazz canon poll is it?

Alice needs a hat

spiritual robe
― D-40, Friday, 2 September 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
her finest moment btw imho
also I listened to Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy last night and I don't really get what sets it apart from any of the other mid-60s Saturn releases. I mean it's great but it doesn't particularly stand out to me...? I forgot about the track with the phone repeatedly ringing in the background, that was funny.
― I can feel it in my spiritual hat (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 2 September 2011 16:07 (twelve years ago) link
eesh, what an album (JIS). just those opening moments, the bells, the bass, the harp...i like almost all of alice's records, but this one is the ONE.
― tylerw, Friday, 2 September 2011 16:08 (twelve years ago) link
digging Unit Structures thx guys

Somehow I didn't vote for this...scratching my spiritual head here. Great album.
― dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Friday, 2 September 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
Nah, her aura is adequate. I do love this album, aside maybe from the oud, because the oud just falls a bit flat compared to what I'm used to it sounding like.
― _Rudipherous_, Friday, 2 September 2011 16:10 (twelve years ago) link
started listening to machine gun, but it's not quite what i'm in the frame of mind right now. herbie hancock seems to be doing the trick though, as usual.
― tylerw, Friday, 2 September 2011 16:16 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, Ayler as an intro to jazz, that's intense. One of the things I picked up at Amoeba was a used Japanese import of Lonnie Liston Smith - Astral Traveling. I've never heard him before, and for some reason expected some funk, but it's more cosmic. Very nice.
I'll try to guess the next entry - Headhunters (I guessed Alice too but saw it's just posted)
― Fastnbulbous, Friday, 2 September 2011 16:17 (twelve years ago) link
Here's 16 albums we haven't had yet:

The last one might be iffy, but it deserves to be right up there.

I'm glad we reached the stage where no-one shouts too low and are just happy the album has placed.
