This Be The Verse They fuck you up, your mum and dad They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you. But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats. Man hands on misery to man.

This 15-minute tour de force, however, is worth the occasional tinniness of the drumkit. Enjoy this ensemble for the ages, which presses every available modal button to create what... - http://bainer.tumblr.com/post...

Walter Davis Jr. - Sweetness (1959)
In his only appearance for Blue Note as a leader, Davis doesn’t disappoint. - http://bainer.tumblr.com/post...
