All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
By the way, the reason I put the Joni Mitchell stuff in a category of songs that I don't particularly like is I simply think her voice is not good for Jazz. I love her pop music stuff which is jazz-influenced. But, I don't like her on real jazz stuff like this.
Talk to Me is one of Jaco's underrated gems, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. My foot always seems to press a little harder on the accelerator when this tune is on.
ReplyDeleteBut my favorite Jaco piece is still John and Mary.
ReplyDeleteI love John and Mary. It is a great, great piece.
ReplyDeleteMy other favorites are
Scarlet Woman
A Remark You Made
Three Views of a Secret
and just purely for the Jaco performance (not the song itself) I also love
Dream Clock
Teen Town
Speechless
Continuum
Goodbie Pork Pie Hat
God Must Be a Boogie Man
Sweet Sucker Dance

ReplyDeleteI have too many opinions, don't I?
