The thing about jazz for me is that there are a lot of boring, stylistically conservative hard bop albums that all melt together into so much mindless blowing. That, and acoustic bass solos are usually terrible. Here's a big list of good stuff that I recommend. Hard Bop / Post-Bop: Cannonball...

The other stars on the Ark roster must be cursing fate for denying them their own fifteen minutes of fame now. Or maybe they're grateful? Pay particular attention to the way the rapper svengali pops up for a cameo appearance in almost every song.

I would accuse you of projection, but since you managed to respond to one of my posts without mentioning Media Matters out of context I'll give that a pass. If you wish, I can use someone other than yourself as a synecdoche for the conservative lunatic fringe from now on. Still, if you want to...

This is, for the most part, the usual historical revisionist boilerplate that Deck Knight has graced us with countless times, but I did a double take when I noticed the inclusion of Iran in that list. Are you seriously suggesting that a country recognized as a theocratic republic, the population...
