i'm a bit worn out of all the jazz selections, especially the long ones. Yeah, because there have been so many of them.  |

I'll remember that next time a garage rock track comes up, skopey. I will indeed... although there haven't been so many of them either, have there... and there wouldn't be many more, right...

I prefer this version of Hardy to the accordion led one. Agree with hatz, he was one of the greats at letting the song speak for itself.
Shamefully I only really know Morgan for Sidewinder. That's a strong piece and would have had my vote in most other rounds.

I didn’t like A much, but B has a lot to like about it.
It’s a new one for me.
When was it released? I’m guessing late 60s, maybe Miles was taking a break. I can’t say I’ve heard of Billy Higgins-I should spend more time reading the liner notes.
Just googled Higgins. I really should read those liner notes! He’s on a ton of stuff I’ve listened to-the Ornette stuff in particular.
BTW this album recorded in 64, but released a couple of years later.

A good tie. A is powerful stuff that can hold an airport terminal let alone a room. B is cool and crisp like a pair of deep-frozen pyjamas in a heatwave. Only just but

I can only echo what has been said
Several ties have left me totally cold in this round, then we get these two!!
Instead of tossing a coin, I'll say B, because it's longer, more going on, more to enjoy.

Nope, don't fancy listening to either of these. Never was much interested in Leadbelly - the folkies touted him as some kind of god when I was a wean, and I could never hear it. And transcendental or not, I'm done with long jazz pieces. I just don't speak the language.

My WHEELHOUSE is several miles away from this one.

The title track from one of the greatest Blue Note rekkids like evah. Perfect. Well played flange.
