relationship of command is definitely one of the more sonically "kiki" albums i've listened to

gorgeous track. dolphy gets these great flute sections and byard's piano playing is just beautiful. dannie richmond is a great live drummer too

not actually live at birdland but still a great song. to me, coltrane really shines on numbers where the band holds down a theme and he gets to explore the space. nowhere near as flashy as his usual playing but i think that's what helps make it stick so well

the whole record is great, one of the first ones that got me into jazz period. shorter, hubbard and walton are great on here but blakey is the star of the show, some of the best drumming i've ever heard

always think its interesting how if you listen to old klezmers on recording you can hear goodman's clarinet solo on sing sing sing is directly descended from those

was listening to the news on the radio on my way back from grocery shopping and it was a story about Kirk's legacy ending with a clip from a guy going "i can abhor the violence that killed him and not celebrate his life" and then the next story was about justin bieber's new album Swag

the transitions on this track are so seamless. land jumps to brown, brown jumps to powell, powell jumps to roach and they keep passing control over the song to each other so flawlessly until it's time to return to the theme again

not only do stitt and rollins get great tenor sax solos over the backbeat, gillespie's phenomenal trumpet solo is sandwiched between them. gillespie actually sings the standard at the end of the track, too, it's a great performance

red garland's piano on this track is great but this also has to be one of my favorite miles leads

evans' piano playing on this is great, and i really like the way lafaro gets to explore the space evans leaves for him on bass
