Back off Bucky. I already told her this. This is some goddamn serious revisionism up in this mother****er

Knowing what's considered "essential" and what someone might like are two different things.
When I had high school friends over to listen to stuff in my bedroom,
Coltrane's Ascension, for example, was just noise, but Kulu Sé Mama
was always considered kool and "listenable." Same thing with Pharoah:
Jewels of Thought or Karma? Yeah, boy! Black Unity? Not so much...
I had a guy give me his copy of Expression back in '74 because it was too far out.
I'm calling him after over 45 years on Tuesday.

Tbf, European Free Jazz is really the sh*t when it comes to tough listens.

Funny, I bought a copy of Black Unity before I bought the other two. I actually didn't enjoy Leon Thomas until I heard his solo work and then went back and revisited Karma and Jewels of Thought and it just kind of clicked.

It was always the yodeling that got my friends and we - well, actually "I" - would go around imitating it in the hallways.

You did? I don't recall any of that, which is strange because that's something I should remember
