Wow. Second time this week, someone I respect is claiming Record of the Decade. I don't know if I could say that for either record, but this one has certainly attained full-tilt boogie status. It's that good.
btw - AMV just shits all over Rebirth of The Cool in my opinion.

Yeah, I was shocked when I first heard samples of AMV. I had to check to see if it was even the same band that put out Rebirth of the Cool. Big leap forward.

And I've got approximately 268 albums of the decade.

The Thelonious Monk Quartet: Monk's Dream

Monk's first Columbia release. I like jazz and enjoy a few of Monk's records, but I'm far far from an expert on a catalog so deep and vast. And, I have heard some mention that you should focus more on his earlier work, which I've only sampled a bit. Still, I can say that of the Monk records I have listened to, this is one of a couple that I come back to over and over and it always seems to hit the spot. Laid back and melodic enough to engage yet bold enough to take chances. If you haven't listened to this one, you probably outta check it out.

Rico Rodriguez: Man from Wareika

Rico is known to many from his work with the Specials, where he played the memorable trombone parts in Ghost Town and their version of A Message to You Rudi. Here he is playing a slew of top notch instrumentals on his own. The rhythms are a mix of jazz inflected ska and reggae and his trombone dominates the proceedings. Pick links you to the original album, but if anyone's really interested I can get you the Japanese reissue that doubles the track list with other tunes recorded at the same sessions in 1976 but not on the original album. There's also a dub version floating around and while I often really like those, in this case I think the dub versions suffered from having too much of Rico's horn stripped out. Still good, in this case I just prefer the full versions.

A couple trivia points to mention. Rico went to the Alpha Boys School in Jamaica and learned trombone from the legendary Don Drummond. Also, this album was the only reggae album to be released on the Blue Note label.
