The Quintet - Salt Peanuts (iv.datura.network)

Reader [email protected] remarked (facetiously, I hope) in a past post that…

I’ve been listening to Sting since I was literally a fetus (mom would put her headphones on her belly)[…]

…which got me thinking about the music we've heard since childhood that made its mark on our psyches, like the Ludovico Technique's imprinting of Ludwig Van…but in a positive way.

Hence today's post…kind of. This track nor the album it comes from weren't part of my early childhood but from that time we music fans start branching out from whatever our adolescent peers are listening to and investigating yet-unexplored musical avenues. That's when I discovered today's album, The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall, featuring the legendary line-up of jazz giants: Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and Max Roach.

Today it's considered Jazz 101, possibly Jazz 102 depending on your "school curriculum"; post-Bebop but just antecedent Cool. Nevertheless, this album did its imprinting all right. As Charlie Parker(?) says at the beginning of the track, "We sincerely hope you do enjoy Salt Peanuts."

Got the Narcissus on cruise-control, just taking a spin just outside of the Zona Galactica Incognita of the Milky Way along the Cepheids-lined pathway…enjoying a nice cosmic moment, playing planetary Slug Bug with the other passengers…whoa!, a shooting star…what a beautiful day to watch the suns rise…

From 2024's Tarantula Heart. Hooray! New Melvins!

Citing youtube user @Dwightpower88…

I'm just glad the Melvins have calmed down a little after all this time.

Marc-Bolan-Merit-Badge BONUS:

Why didn't this band break big?? Maybe because they weren't Disney child performers or didn't come from some TV talent show farm? They should've been huge! One of life's great mysteries. But rock 'n' roll!, the incorrigible, "never-say-die" Tuk Smith is still pluggin' away. Tuk and The Restless Hearts for a future post…

Aww, screw it!

Don't be afraid, Wǒ de péngyǒu! Today we are embarking (woof woof ) on a musical adventure to far-off lands, sailing across continents, gliding through backstreets and great public squares and forests and hillsides…all in just over 30 minutes!

Like how Miles Davis was contemporaneously exploring jazz-rock fusion and rolling improvisations, Cherry's impetus was world music, blending American jazz improv with inspiration derived from Asian instrumentation and composition.

Press ▶ and let it wash over you.
