i had no idea that was a horseback riding term. I'm such a city boy.

actually i didn't even notice that was a horse; i thought it was somebody spreadeagled on the floor

It was Poco's logo so it might still have nothing to do with horseriding. But Richie Furay was born again so I can't see him participating in anything untoward.
― Whiney Houston (Tom D.), Friday, 5 January 2018 12:40 (six years ago) link
Richie was out of the band by the time they adopted the horse logo though (although occasionally rejoining)
― Bowling for Bitcoins (Lee626), Friday, 5 January 2018 12:46 (six years ago) link
the horse logo was designed by Phil Hartman incidentally - his brother was Poco's manager

I just noticed that the syrup on that Head East cover looks kind of like Texas (panhandle toward the viewer). I wonder if that was intentional.

From 1978, the amusing named Trumpetmachine with the painfully titled, "For Flying Out Proud".

Huh, had not heard of Trumpetmachine before. Woody Shaw, Kenny Wheeler and Jon Faddis. Sounds like it might have been a less successful coattail rider of the Supersax concept?
― IF (Terrorist) Yes, Explain (man alive), Monday, 29 January 2018 02:53 (six years ago) link
No doubt. I find Faddis tedious for various reasons I won't elaborate on right this second.
I have seen the son of Mike Zwerin, who was on Birth of The Cool, I think, play bass a few times. Seems like a pretty nice guy. He is unusual in a jazz context in that, not only does he play electric bass, but he plays it slung real low, a la Paul Simonon or Kris(t) Novoselic, say.

Definitely one of the most boring sub-categories of this type of album cover is anything that directly references the fact that you are playing an instrument. It's like "there is absolutely nothing transcendent about this record, it's just a demonstration of me playing"
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Wednesday, 7 March 2018 15:22 (six years ago) link
they get even sadder with distance. i'm assuming that at some point arlen roth had some kind of reputation, maybe praised amongst guitar folk, written about in magazines, so an album that's just "hey here he is playing guitar" might be like "shit yeaaaah I gotta get that." those days are now long gone, i fear.
