1001 Albums Summary

This album is so iconic and stylistically significant to the evolution of jazz. I tend to prefer listening to improvisational / modal jazz live bc I find it easier to get into, but I found this to be more accessible than others. My fav track is Blue in Green, love me some melancholic piano

Really enjoyed this! Can absolutely hear Kanye’s influence as a producer on this album. Was also cool to hear connections between tracks on this album and Kanye’s later stuff (Chi-City —> opening of Homecoming). Common is a legend and I enjoyed the chance to hear more of his solo stuff

I listened to one song and got overwhelmed no thx

Obsessed. I didn’t expect to vibe so much with the instrumental tracks but I really liked them, esp in the context of a full play through of the album. Sons of the Silent Age was one of my fav tracks and I hear echoes of Space Oddity in it. Love to hear artists play with similar musical ideas at different times in their career
