My first jazz album and I guess still my favorite. Every tune is a gem. Walked into an old plaid stamp store (Green_Stamps) with my folks one Saturday afternoon when I was about 13 or 14. They turned in their stamp books to get a toaster or something. Had some stamps left over so they told me to pick out something. I went over to the LP rack and grabbed this album. Got home and put it on and my life instantly shifted. Forty years later and I'm still chasing that "thing"......that sound...feeling...vibe....I don't know....suddenly...no words....just music....sound vibration....but deep....somewhere in my core.
Booker Ervin...hooked me on the first listening....
creativity ideas stimulation research curiosity
"a way to track my activity related to creativity and things that i've found helpful to generate new ideas. waste of time? possibly. talked with students about doing a lot of these things to get them out of the music building and experience life. so, maybe this is a way to track myself and to provide an example to some of my students."
