Reader [email protected] remarked (facetiously, I hope) in a past post that…

I’ve been listening to Sting since I was literally a fetus (mom would put her headphones on her belly)[…]

…which got me thinking about the music we’ve heard since childhood that made its mark on our psyches, like the Ludovico Technique’s imprinting of Ludwig Van…but in a positive way.

Hence today’s post…kind of. This track nor the album it comes from weren’t part of my early childhood but from that time we music fans start branching out from whatever our adolescent peers are listening to and investigating yet-unexplored musical avenues. That’s when I discovered today’s album, The Quintet: Jazz at Massey Hall, featuring the legendary line-up of jazz giants: Dizzy Gillespie, Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, and Max Roach.

Today it’s considered Jazz 101, possibly Jazz 102 depending on your “school curriculum”; post-Bebop but just antecedent Cool. Nevertheless, this album did its imprinting all right. As Charlie Parker(?) says at the beginning of the track, “We sincerely hope you do enjoy Salt Peanuts.”
