Mr. Metadata isn't the only one with leftovers, & I'm sure we all have a bucket or 2 of songs that
didn't make the cut for a particular mix (or series)...so then...#9: elements...with an edge.
An exploration into some, uhh...louder bits of jazz-n-ether begot this stepped-up, black-sheep, 1/2
brother to the series packed with tunes that I winced at when cutting from previous playlists. That Hancock album
has always been a fave of mine, along with the Miles' track (mmmm, John Blake's electric violin, too)...and MM&W have
yet to disappoint. Rock...er, Jazz-on!

(Thanks to

lostinthejazzmix for the Eberhard Weber track)

Just saw Frisell a month or so ago -- awesome gig. Really like the eclecticism here. I should go back and re-listen to that early Marsalis stuff, too. Good stuff, gene.

Thanks for the comments.
This gets really loud & busy near the end. I'm sitting at a traffic light, on the way to the office this morning;
windows opened, volume 2/3's cranked, taping the beat on top of the steering wheel & the dude in the car next to
me (in the left hand turn slot) gives me this look, like "Really IMMATURE, man"...

The light turned green, I winked @ him, downshifted...and took off!
;-D

Edward- those early Marsalis albums are some of my favorites from him -- haven't kept up with him since
"Black Codes...".

Missed this the first time around. The date is around the "last" major computer crash. This is a masterpiece to my ears.
