Okay, Frogman. Listened to Atlantis. I could hear why you thought it would appeal to me. It’s got a contemporary sound and I do like the chord progressions and arrangements. Jury’s still out for a final verdict. Have to listen more to see whether a connection gets made or not.
Did a little reading about Mr. Shorter. Quite a prestigious career. Had no idea he was a co-founder of Weather Report.
From Atlantis, Track 3 (The Three Marias) was familiar to me.
Here’s another take on that composition (and where I’d first heard it).

Thanks for the suggestion. Got some trombone music to check out.
Hey O - I DO remember when you’d sit through a not so great track rather than get up to move the needle and skip it. Something similar applied to TV before remotes, i.e., back when there were only 3 network channels + the public station (Channel 13 growing up in the shadow of the Big Apple; deadly boring to a kid).
That A/C article might have been in The Atlantic but right now I can’t view it on-line because I’m running AdBlocker...so not certain if it was the one I’m remembering.
