Until you've heard Tony Williams sing, you haven't heard jazz. Aw, come on, no love for "Beyond Games"?

Just wanted to chime in here that Unity is a fucking incredible album.
In terms of spirituality and jazz, I personally feel that Alice Coltrane was the only one who got the mixture right. Roll your eyes if you want to but I really like A Monastic Trio and Universal Consciousness. Don't quite get all the love for Journey To Sachidananda though. As for her husband, at least he never hired Keith Jarrett to be in his ensemble.
As you were...

With Journey To Sachidananda it's all about that bass line on the title track. Cecil McBee can carve through a mountain with that thing.

I have no problem with anything Keith Jarrett played with Miles — probably because I didn't have to look at him mugging and posturing like a lobotomized idiot while he played the stuff.
He can be overly noodly on some of the Miles-era stuff, but is true that it is much better to hear than to see. Let's take a moment to be thankful that everything was amplified and loud as heel to mask all that grunting and groaning he does.
If I ever need a good laugh to cheer me up, watching solo Jarrett performances always work.

I think I'd like him more if someone would have ripped out his vocal chords. Miles band was loud enough to cover up the humming/grunting/singing/whatever it is he does to let you know he's really feelin' it maaaaaaan...at least until you take out your cell phone and totally harsh his vibe.

You get to watch him on the Isle of Wight video. Him and Chick Corea in the same band, only Miles could keep that together. He would wind them up by saying to one that the other had said some shit about him. During the show.

Attributing the wrong religion to Hancock is one thing. I'm not quite sure how you get from there to implicating him in date rape.
Well, he was pals with Cosby. It was a joke — and I take full responsibility for it falling completely flat.
I tell ya, tough crowd. Is this thing on?

Aren't Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette laughing at some private joke throughout most of that show, or am I thinking of something else?

Have you heard the anecdote about Gary Bartz almost beating the shit out of Jarrett? Miles could be such a wonderful shit-stirrer when he wanted to.
Also, I think it was mainly Dave Holland grinning like a loon throughout the Isle of Wight set, but it seems to be after he's looked over at wonky Keith and his manbag.

Time to pop that DVD back in. Maybe with the sound off, and make up my own dialog.
