Wayne Shorter's '60s run of Blue Note albums is life-sustaining and essential... Prince's album The Slaughterhouse is one of his strongest of the 2000s, certainly more interesting than the major label releases like 3121 or Musicology... with "Y Should 👁 Do That When 👁 Can Do This?" he wears his Tower of Power heart on his sleeve... great grooves throughout and no MOR sappiness... It's great hearing an entire side of Clifford Jarvis cooking on drums with David Murray without his taking an extended solo (with which he slowed down so, so many Sun Ra concerts)...
