Jazz classic for a reason. Smooth and hypnotic.
I want to get this, since it's like the #1 jazz record. It didn't really capture me though. I listened through twice and it was very nice, but I was not amazed. I feel like this is a personal failing. That being said, I can't just rate it high because I'm supposed to. 3.49/5
This is probably as perfect of a jazz 101 LP as there is, and I mean, that’s for a reason- look at the talent behind his band! But time has been kind to the songs and performances, which sound as rich today as ever. A
My dad played this record regularly all through my childhood. This type of jazz remains my favorite to this day (had to look it up, modal jazz; will seek out more); simple motifs stated and restated, with minor variations and improv that's not shy about hitting a phrase multiple times, whether it's harmonious or dissonant.
