That would make sense. Also, please no "swing room". I don't know if jazzers are aware of this, but "swinging" is also famous in our times for being a particular sexual practice that I don't really care for. |

 Crossings should get 5 stars. And I Sing the Body Electric probably 4.5 stars. Sextant is too inconsistent for my taste, and the Weather Report debut might get an extra 0.5.
