Now playing: "One Down, One Up" (live at The Half Note). I love it all the way through, but listen as J.C. and Elvin veer off together around 13:15.

Interesting. About 30 seconds later it’s like Elvin is playing this angry rock beat.

On that A Love Supreme Live I mentioned earlier Tyner kind of reminds me of something like that the way he keeps playing block chords and the get more and more dissonant and then when he finally swings it’s so non-modal it almost feels rebellious like he’s playing for the Hot Fives or Sevens. Actually, Sun Ra makes abrupt transitions like that.

I wanted to fit in a few more records before midnight but I fell asleep.

I was planning on Live in Seattle, African Brass, Crescent, and with Monk at Carnegie Hall.

They're much more powerful and rough hewn on the live "A Love Supreme" while still preserving that sacred melody. Love McCoy playing with his building blocks to dissonance in the second movement.

I had way too much caffeine yesterday, but at least it kept me up for the birthday party.
