Have just been listening to two classic recordings. Thad Jones/Mel Lewis playing Kids are Pretty People (1969) on Monday Night Live at the Village Vanguard and also Miles Davis’ group of the decades, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams playing All Blues on You Tube. There is much music that can be said to have reached this level, but no one has surpassed this music in any genre and at any point in history. How’s that for going out on a limb? But seriously check it out. Maybe this is only in the mind of someone who grew up with this music and placed high on a pedestal. But I love this music…
