David Murray/Questlove/Ray Angry - Ninno b/w 5 Minute Joint (7" vinyl single 45 RPM)
JMI-17-S5. In the early 1960s, soul jazz organ, as practiced by the greats Jimmy Smith, “Brother” Jack MacDuff, “The Burner” Charles Earland and Richard “Groove” Holmes, among others was so popular that classic labels like Prestige and Blue Note pressed 7” singles for juke boxes. That was a good idea because it highlighted the possibility that instrumental music can generate popular hits. In the spirit of glorious futility which infuses everything we do, we produced this 7” single, using an edited version of the foot-stomping bebop of David Murray’s Ninno (named after a friend’s recently deceased dog) and 5 Minute Joint, a slice of futuristic funk/jazz we originally thought would not fit on the Plumb box set. We were wrong about that and the song is included in the box, but that didn’t stop this release.
