1001 Albums Summary

Jazz, swing The kid from red bank- first impression... WOW!!!! this is what music should sound like, so much soul and talent. the piano is nasty... the base is so brain itchy, the trumpets. dang i don't know how were gonna go up from here. DUET: this feels very balanced, like im going on a walk in a pretty place. not as es explosive as the kid AFTER SUPPER- i want someone to seduce me to this song. thats it, thats the whole note FLIGHT OF THE FOO BIRDS- get your ass up and DANCE! so fun and swingy. sax solo so good. i want to be on my tip toes tapping around DOUBLE O- This sounds like what christmas shopping in new york city feels like. was this in the home alone soundtrack? it feels like i should be when they're rushing to get to the airport and make their flight and realize kevin isn't there TEDDY THE TOAD- i really like the builds throughout this song WHIRLY BIRD- i looked up the word crescendo during this song. i felt like kicking my feet out infront of me this entire time. the base did make me a little anxious ngl MIDNIGHT BLUE- this song is very adequately named midnight blue. it feels like leaving the bar alone but content late on a cooler fall night, walking through quite streets until you step into a bustling pizza shop with drunken strangers, order your slice while listening to fumbled conversations, then returning to the quite streets, slice in hand, heading home as you eat until finally arriving at your front door, fumbling the keys then getting quietly into bed SPLANKY- i honestly wasn't very excited by this song. FANTAIL- i was not intrigued until the sax solo. so good, love a sax moment. drums were fun and interesting too LIL DARLIN- i cheated and saw this is one of count basies most popular songs. it feels so good, so easy on the soul. the trumpet? is so gentle, it almost feels like a cry for help. really liked this song
