I had this on cassette back when it was released. Took it with me on a business trip to San Francisco in early spring. My boss had an apartment out there and a T-top TransAm in a garage. Lent me the keys to both. HAD to go for a drive down the coast with the top off and this album playing. Left me some magical memories.

My wife and I "booked it" from church one summer Sunday afternoon in 2014 to see the Yellowjackets at the "Jazz on the Mountain" festival at Blue Mountain resort, ON, Canada...it was sooooooooooooo worth it! front row seats, had the pleasure of great conversation and photos with all the band members...Russell even sent me the original score for this wonderful track. Tortoise and the Hare is my all-time favorite ever since I heard it on the Melodic Bass Library cassette (yes, I said cassette) over 20 yrs ago! I love listening to it and I love practicing it on the bass from time to time! This track was THE reason I got a fretless! #unforgettable

This is a master piece ! I'll never understand why Marc Russo left the band and as far as I know never played again compositions like this,, as a front sax in a band., he stayed playing just accompanying Hue Lewis and joining Doobie Bross, what a talent and feeling he has .... and what a pity that he never played again as a frontman sax in other band .... (why?) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Este tema es una joya!, precioso Nunca entenderé porque Marc Russo dejó Yellowjackects, pero todavia entiendo menos que ha estado haciendo todos estos años con los Doobie Brothers sin tocar con alguna otra banda en la que ejercer como saxo frontman y hacer temas propios....., una pena
@jenniferjoshua656510 жыл бұрын
Bob Mintzer's saxophone is synonymous with the classic Yellowjackets sound, and I'm grateful for his voice and spirit moving through countless cd's, from "Greenhouse" on . . .But this song on Politics, "Tortoise & The Hare", is my favorite Yellowjackets song, because Mark Russo's own voice and spirit is a custom fit to my own when I'm in that state of projecting memory onto future creation
