The symmetry on this one well, kind of went off the rails after a while. Oh well, file it under “trying something different.” For whatever it’s worth, I finally came around to the album at 68-Across about two years ago. The latest reissue really gave it (I think) the clarity that was missing. Don’t at me. Always loved them, but found that one a bit bloated. But anyway, I digress. Enjoy the crossword.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.
58A (not 68A) was a gimme for me. One of my first 25 LPs, I’ve liked it from its release, but then I grew up with it. Family did them a favor by scooping them with the (nearly same title, resulting in one of the most iconic LP covers of all time.
7d. Freddie is a monster. Love his stuff with Art Blakey, also Speak no Evil with Wayne Shorter, or his album Red Clay, and don’t miss the live performance of Cantaloupe Island with herbie hancock, Tony Williams, ron Carter, and Joe henderson from 1985, Freddie kills it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VN8zH366M8
