Fun album but if it was a contest, Jimmy completely annihilates Wes throughout.

This was my Bible growing up. I remember being a bit disappointed that the cover teased material that wasn’t in the book, but I otherwise studied it like a sacred text. Fun fact: the Catch-22 parody is missing the last page. I guess they did that so the page count evened out??

Good point about Shorter. You could take all his compositions from the Blakey albums as-is and authentically repackage them as a Wayne Shorter album.

Interesting that Horace recorded songs written by Joe when he was in the band. Trying hard to think of another then-current sideman who got writing credits on a Horace freaking Silver album.

The Pennsylvania band!

Done and done! One less smug asshole in my feed.

dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️

I would totally take part in a high stakes reality show where Señor Poole has to teach his former students, now adults, something beyond “Tengo usar el baño” or something bad happens (to him? To us? Both??).

Out on the Coast rules
