Oh yes, classic funk! 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, I agree about Miles Smiles!

They actually did one other batch earlier this year with Charles Rouse, Stanley Cowell, Pharoah Sanders, and Music Inc 🔥

Ah ok it is on Discogs! I’ve only seen that toucan and “Musica Nova do Brasil” on this Tim Maia record, didn’t realize it was a thing beyond that www.discogs.com/release/9686...

Interesting, I’ve never seen that cover of Elis & Tom before and I don’t think it’s on Discogs. Is that a Mexican pressing?

That record is gonna go to the grave smoking a pack a day.

The Ellington & Coltrane album is in my top 5 for jazz albums.

The “Masterpieces by Ellington” album (which has this song) is incredible. One of the first 12” LPs to have extended songs like that (which wasn’t possible on 78rpm and 10” records). Truly groundbreaking genius!

Bill Stewart is phenomenal! A truly unique and musical drummer. Really hard to stand out in an era where you’d think all the cool licks and styles had already been invented, but Bill Stewart definitely does.

I have an older model Humminguru and love it. I don’t know how I collected vinyl without it, frankly.

I think this joke is very annoying and not funny.

Ron Carter once said that to appreciate how huge Elvin’s influence was, simply listen to a jazz drummer before Elvin Jones and listen to a jazz drummer after Elvin Jones. That says it all. Elvin changed everything about drumming!
