Guryan thought it might make a good album cover and interested Creed Taylor in the painting (who wanted to whiten the background). Taylor had chosen the painting for Gary McFarland's record. However, the album's title dismayed Guryan, a former writing partner of McFarland's, since song titles like "Wine And Bread," "Fried Bananas" and especially "Over Easy" seemed to suit the image better.

Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

' Gary Robert McFarland (October 23, 1933 – November 3, 1971) was an American composer, arranger, vibraphonist and vocalist. He recorded for the jazz imprints Verve and Impulse! Records during the 1960s. Down Beat magazine said he made "one of the more significant contributors to orchestral jazz". A 2015 review of a McFarland DVD documentary called him "one of the busiest New York jazz arrangers of the 1960s". The review further stated that McFarland's "ascendance coincided with the rise of bossa nova, and McFarland was adept at translating the mercurial song form into orchestrations. He wrote some beautiful orchestral settings for great soloists, yet wasn’t immune to commercial forces." '

' William "Sonny" Criss (23 October 1927 – 19 November 1977)
...An alto saxophonist of prominence during the bebop era of jazz, he was one of many players influenced by Charlie Parker.
Criss had developed his own, concise, bluesy tone by this point, and though his basic style did not vary much, his ability on the instrument continued to develop '...

Never before noticed that McFarland did vocals.

Thanks, Stork. May 14, 1965, Los Angeles Times, review by Charles Champlin of McFarland's appearance at the Manne Hole concludes, "As an arranger-composer he has been compared with Ellington, and in his concern with tonal effects within the jazz idiom, the comparison is just right. Welcome home."

Of the three or four times I've heard Jimmy live, once was just down the road in the little enclave town of Emeryville (where, e.g., Pixar is HQ'd) at a now defunct nightclub. That was not long before he passed away.

@Dean, re the SACD Bill Evans.. $30 is a LOT less than a really nice copy of the LP costs these days. Sometimes the re-mastering brings out great things.. or just paints the music in a different light.. sometimes, the music is ruined. At least you could play it all you want without the labor involved with a LP. My copy is prob NM- but it does require effort and I don't play it too often. But I still prefer a clean copy of the vinyl.. irrational, many will say.
  3:27pm
Dean:

I have a vinyl copy, which I haven't played in years. No special pressing or quality. Now and then I enjoy A/B-ing vinyl/digital or Red Book CD/SACD.
  3:28pm

But I also love playing records. Just putting the platter on the platter and dropping the needle makes me happy.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 3:29pm

@Dean: if you get the SACD, lemme know what you think, compared to the LP, if it's not too much trouble. I'm just getting to the point where I can splurge a little on things like that.

To listen to the old experts @ Analog LP Mastering - they *knew* perfectly well the limits of the dynamic range of they were working in - & - used them *Artfully*. Not that this was always so one presumes. In the Digital era - one feels we have been seduced by increased Dynamic Range (lack of Noise &tc.) - for their own (potential) sakes - & this has been much less so...
Someone observed most of use Stereos to listen to Music - while too many 'Audiophiles' use Musics to listen to their Stereo.
Perhaps we've gone a bit that way as a Culture
...aside from the broad concern of the Analog era generally expanding Musics in every way - & the Digital era then compressing them to fit into storage formats & to transmit via interwebz...

I like to think I'm courting the high end, but bottom line is: I like to play records. Sometimes that entails producing glorious music, sometimes it's just fun to revisit oldies in the collection. But I also have almost limitless disdain for audiophile fetishism, loving albums purely for their sound, rather than for the music.

Candidly, the only thing I wanna do with my Analogs now is rip them Losslessly (quote unquote) to Digital so a.) I don't where then out in use - & b.) so I can listen to them in Digital formats that are what I use now.
...But yerknow - I dusted off the turntable & slapped on old pressing of 'Are You Experienced?' on - expecting bad antique Fidelity or something ...& surprise - it sounded kind of amazing. Anyhow - can totally see (& respect) enjoying the Act of it. Course - another aspect of Digital is Programability : here are all my Files - & - Click ...& here's the iTunes EQ for these speakers - like that...
