Responding to the Jazz thread yesterday put me in mind to enjoy some Hargrove. This should do nicely.

You’re on a roll, Randy.

Burl Ives was the first slacker. He didn't even care if Jimmy cracked corn.

Apologies to Tom Lehrer.

Perhaps my favorite version:

Plus, some anecdotes:

Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so Brain, but if Jimmy cracks corn and nobody cares, why does he keep doing it?

Also, from the same episode:

Lost Animaniacs Clips - The Pink Candidate

Big Thief - Capacity (2017)



Beautiful vocals.

Hank Mobley - Hi Voltage (1968)

A front line of Mobley, Blue Mitchell, and Jackie McLean should have been investigated for conspiracy to astound.

Admit it. We were dead before the ship even sank.

Yes, that album was dead to me when it became obvious how much it stank.

Idris Muhammad - House Of The Rising Sun (1976)

Features a youngish (well, young in his recording career) Tom Harrell among all the Jazz and Funk veterans.

It was doomed to float on.

Float on, Kemosabe.
