Hard to say...it's definitely the best of its kind, the high-speed high-density roaring-saxophones approach. His solo records Stories and Grand Unification have some incredibly moving, meditative moments, and his duo with David Murray, Real Deal, is pretty great, too. But if someone said, "What does Milford Graves sound like?" I'd probably put on Babi.

― ELO ENO ONO (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 28 April 2011 19:10 (fourteen years ago)
Yeah Ted. I don't know when he got his pharmacy license but he was a pharmacist for a long time I think and it overlapped with his music and teaching careers iirc. Wikipedia says he studied pharmacy in the 1950s so I guess that would be pretty much from the beginning. I visited him in the hospital once before he died and I remember him arguing with the nurses over the dosage he was getting of various meds, which sounded very amusing in his old jazz guy voice.
― rock rough 'n' stuff with h.r. pufnstuf (Hurting 2), Thursday, 28 April 2011 19:15 (fourteen years ago)
Actually "old jazz guy" isn't exactly right. It was more like a certain bygone era of twangy southern black professorial-sounding speech with a little jazz guy mixed in -- I had another teacher with similar inflection. It may even have been a texas thing.

xpost Stewart Copeland always jokes about checking out drummers in Police cover bands trying desperately to pull off songs rife with overdubs, like "Message in a Bottle."
Also, cosign the notion that many of the best drums albums are also the best guitar albums (see: "Siamese Dream," though to be honest I only listen to that for the drumming).

I used to find it just so so full of filler and seemingly lacking in 'songs', but nowadays Tommy, especially loud on a spring/summer day and with that more recent remastering, is just pure utter joyfulness and the drums are the major part of that. I'm going to put it on now.

I told this story on another thread (and my search for the interview it came from has been fruitless): Live At Leeds was released while the Who were back on tour in the US in mid-1970. Entwistle and Moon got their copy and listened to it for the first time in their hotel room. Upon hearing it, they exchanged shocked glances: "Is...is this us?!" They had never heard themselves recorded live, and had no idea how insanely great they were.
