I'll listen more critically next time, I guess I'm just so washed away by the sound, which you know is very easy with Lungs, I'm not thinking about particulars. Ralph's Piano Waltz is *gorgeous*, better suited to Abercrombie's style than Lungs. For the longest time it was the only piece on the album that I would listen to. It took me a while to get into the Hammer sound. I used to feel that the pace of Lungs was too rushed, but I "get it" now, and the transition between the first and second parts is absolutely dreamy. I'm going to find the other version of Lungs you referenced in a different thread, with Elvin Jones and Gene Perla. I've had limited exposure to Jones, primarily through A Love Supreme. It's hard for me to imagine him doing Lungs, and I'm absolutely enamored with de Johnette's performance of it, but I have faith that Jones won't be disappointing.
