Time Out is still one of my favorite albums. Blue Rondo a la Turk is just beautiful. I should learn that one too…
Great stuff, Decitrig. You have mathematically enhanced this august thread. I don’t care if the info is trivial for some.
What’s up with this intro? Is there a verse to How High The Moon? Are they quoting another tune, or is this just a bluesy riff kind of like Four? ...
