Grachan Moncur III

At some point I'm going to do some lengthy writing about Grachan Moncur III, whose Evolution (1964) has been spinning around in my head pretty much non-stop for a couple of weeks now. But for now, just this:

I Tweeted .

See, as I was chasing down some leads on Mr. Moncur, I found out that he had played on an album by Jackie McLean...Destination... Out! (also from 1964). Not only played on, but wrote most of as well--3 of the 4 tunes. I knew this because of my good friends at Wikipedia and because I first listened to the album on YouTube, wherein the credits were given to reflect this fact. But then I went over to Spotify to see if they had anything else I should have a listen to, and for some reason I hit the link for Destination...Out!. Here's what came up:

Hmpf. I checked back on Wikipedia to make sure that I'd read the information there correctly, and found that I had. So I was pretty sure that Spotify had gotten it wrong. But, then again, I've caught Wikipedia in a couple of errors before (and yes, I corrected them; you're welcome), so I wanted to make assurance doubly sure. How to do that, though? Well, bright boy that I am, I went to eBay and found some copies of the Destination...Out! album for sale, and went through pictures until I found one of the back cover:

Mr. DeMille?

So there you had it. Being the fellow that I am, I felt a deep need to see this error corrected. Mr. Moncur deserves better treatment than this, you know? So I looked for a way to contact Spotify, and eventually decided that a direct Tweet was the best shot, so this:

God is in the details, brahs and tahs...so we've got to take care of the details, right?

No response yet, but here's hoping.

And 🗞 as it happens, over course.
