It was so overplayed at the time that I kind of blocked it out, but it's or course better than I remembered, with many more deep tracks showing a maturing artist with a deep bag of songwriting and playing and a tightly assembled crew.

9 unsuccessful jazz albums on Columbia and then Atlantic and Jerry Wexler roll out the MF Queen of Soul. RS said "It rings out like revealed truth happening in real time, a declaration of independence." A masterpiece.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

4/5

Old school hip hop from the Queen.

4/5

A great find. I was not that familiar with Paul Simon outside his major hits and radio songs from Graceland. A lot of the roots of that album here, good songcraft, an interesting variety of rhythms and instrumentation.

White heat with barely a cigarette paper in between songs. Must have blow people away and pissed them off simultaneously.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington
