I miss when Jazz albums were called 'Saxytime' and the cover was just like 5 sax players with a note on the back like 'these dudes just got together, and blew all night long'.

Now it's shit like 'intimations of the illubrications of immortality' and shit

ok but "Walkin' About" was heavily inspired by Zep Montgomery's early sax work, even if Slip adapted it for the 2-string blues guitar

Legend has it there was a crossover recording with them that predates Coltrane/Hartman by a good 40 years but all the wax cylinders were lost in a fire.

come up with fake jazz album names for prod design so the show could avoid royalities.

I don't quite understand that. Did they use famous jazz songs and lie about it?

Now that I've seen that - I want to hear it.

Minor quibble...

Walkin' About

I really like the list but that's a bum note. It doesn't have the right vibe but just Walkin' does.

They probably mean for physical albums in the background. They didn't want real jazz, albums but to make their own cover art with these titles.

I can already hear a fiddle solo running over a chugging guitar.
