Max Bennett was FAR from a "twenty-something." Unless, of course, he was around five when he was touring and recording with Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald in the 1950's. And John Guerin was at LEAST in his mid-thirties (Joni, BTW, was 30 at the time...and 31 on 'Hissing'). Besides, isn't it basically the same group that played on 'Hissing?' Basically, the only (occasional) significant additions were perhaps Larry Carlton and Joe Sample. And--most importantly--what about the 7 (9 if you count "Cold Blue Steel..." and "For Free") jaw-dropping "solo" performances from Joni (on dulcimer, piano and guitar) on some of her most classic songs (whereas 'Hissing' was ALL "lite-jazz")? Not to mention that the new band arrangements--on the 8 tunes where they DO appear--were truly revelatory (like "Rainy Night House" and "The Last Time I Saw Richard"). So--for me, anyway--there's simply no comparison. And again, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree. ;-) XXXOOO, Baffled Billy (who handily rates 'MOA' in his top-5-Joni) NP: 'Farewell Aldebaran' (1968) by Judy Henske and Jerry Yester ___________________________________________ jlamadoo@sbcglobal.net wrote: >>> To me, MOA was a bunch of twenty-somethings skimming along, playing light jazz.
