@acman3 Have you jotted down the time changes in that Chick Corea number?  I'm not even sure having the sheet music would help me navigate that one.  And yet it swings and thrills.  Impressive.

Heresy I'm sure, but Monk's solo section in "Pannonica" posted by O10 leaves me cold.  No swing, no pace, no intriguing phrasing.  Tentative, awkward, choppy.  Genius, yes.  Will I ever play it again?  No.  Nice tenor though.

O10, I count 10 compositions named for Nica, which is quite a legacy.  My to-do list now includes checking all them all out.  So much music, so little time.Thanks for posting the article.

O10, "Nica's Dream" really hit the spot, thanks!

Following up on the great blues posts, there's something irresistible about R.L. Burnside laying it down in his hill country back yard.  Back to basics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_DOnKJ232M

More of the view from Africa, untouched by American hands.  This is from 1975:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EheIXOkbYCE

Again Weather Report's "Black Market" leads us to music that is more local and authentic, if not as beautifully performed as Shorter and Hancock could do.But if it's real you're after:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVMmnYp_Zxs

Now a more modern attempt to relive that same Lagos-driven vibe.  This from 2015:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFSRCG4DrmIMaybe Weather Report should make a trip to Lagos to see what happens?
