What's Spinning

The agutierrezb 2019 record collection challenge

So I've decided to embark on my own personal challenge, which consists of listening every record in my collection before the end of the year. My record collection is not that big -only ~250-, but I still feel like there are a bunch of records I don't give enough attention to, while still adding more titles to my shelves.

For this reason I've set a couple of rules in order to play every record at least once before December 31st: I'll play at least one record a day, going from front to back in the way I have them sorted in my shelf. I can play a different record (i.e. Not the next one in alphabetical order) if I feel like listening to something else in any given moment, but at least one of the records I spin in the day has to be the LP in turn.

I didn't take pictures for the first two days, but I'll try to document the process from here on, so I'll be posting daily on this thread. Wish me luck!

When this reissue was first announced as part of the Tone Poet series I wasn't all that excited about. Like I have mentioned elsewhere, I get tired of straight-ahead hard bop after a while, so this title didn't particularly pick my interest. I'm glad I eventually decided to buy this album, because it is everything but formulaic. The killer lineup and the variety of compositions make this a very exciting and unpredictable listen. Everyone shines here, but Morgan and Hancock take share the top spot for me.
