Seems like some label reissued it. Does not disappoint. That uploader's knockin' 'em outta the park.

In that case, Sheriff J.W. Pepper has just one question for you:

Glad you liked it, guys...although I'm not sure if Chank actually listened to it. If not, I think it's definitely worth your listening time. It's good stuff, and so are his other albums, which I've also been listening to. But yeah, Flying Beagle has the most fun title and album cover - unless you're a DOOMSDAY MACHINE (Dan, I'm looking in your direction).

I totally listened to it. (*Goes back to check album*) Although, only the first 5 songs. Other music was callin' me to listen.
I think I got a good enough sense of what was goin' on.

Been listenin' to him and a lot of Roswell Rudd recently.

so weird, bc i was just listening to this and planning to say something along the lines of "praise the noodly appendage there are review websites to warn me of the relative meretriciousness of releases like this" - now i will simply say - praise the noodly appendage for you, Grachan - you were one of my top 10 jazz composers and a helluva trombonist - and to go on your 85th birthday
i will definitely keep listening and flying your flag
oh - what i was listening to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6nLchdKcqM
the 26 minute workout on Grachan's Hipnosis
