The Minsky Moment

Jimmy & Wes, Dynamic Duo (1966)

Songs of Ice and Fire with cool Wes Montgomery on his Gibson electiric guitar and with Jimmy Smith on the Hammond organ bringing the heat. The core trio is rounded out by versatile drummer Grady Tate, perhaps best known for supplying vocals for Schoolhouse Rock.  About half the tracks put the soloists in a big band format with nice arrangements by Oliver Nelson of standards like "Night Train" and "Down By the Riverside", others have salsa pioneer Ray Barretto on conga.

Still an absolute classic:

Bobby Hutcherson - Happenings (1966): Quartet date with Herbie Hancock.  I associate Hutcherson more with McCoy Tyner than any other pianist, but Hancock is a good match for him - similar musical sensibilities and approach.  The other album they did together the following year - Oblique - is one of my favorites.

You know, the kind of music you always hear on yachts.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Thanks, so that's why I've never heard of it.   :hmm:

Weird isn't it, Minstrel clicked for me first time I ever heard it. And it has gone stale no mater how often I listen to it.

Maybe I should give Warchild a go, as I'm similarly to you with it.

From that era, Stormwatch is my favourite

Minstrel has always resonated with me - Side one especially.  Cold Wind to Valhalla after the opener is a magic combo.  In fact, all of side one hits it on the head for me.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
