hmm, Pithecanthropus erectus tho?

this is on my radar and guessing I should start here (not with whatever I actually added to my RYM profile the other day), just to see if we can add more ammunition to the idea jazz did not just 'get gud' in 58/59

(it was '57 anyway as it happens, Brilliant Corners)

nah start with the 1947-51 blue note classics (comped as GENIUS OF MODERN MUSIC), so many famous tunes

a cursory listen suggests its def better than this
i like round midnight and epistrophy

Album Rating: 4.5

I love “introspection”: the feeling of inertia when the melody restarts so far away from where it began.
