Also an album by this title by Dave Bailey and a variation of the song.This is one hell of an album! One foot in the gutter is one of the songs I regularly ride with
I was going through Monk’s discography last month when I came across this album. Figured it was a safe blind buy and bought it without bothering to check samples. Going by all the comments here, guess I’ve lucked out big time!
Waiting for my free courier service (read MiL) to deliver it soon
Btw, got the other cover:

The Mingus Big Band is truly worthy of their name. I watched them play years ago at The Jazz Standard in New York, where they had a regular Monday night residency. Unfortunately, the Standard closed its doors in 2020, thanks to the pandemic. I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy them thoroughly.
I really wish I could have attended the Monty Alexander show on Sunday. And, caught up with another jazzhead, too!. Alas, that’s not to be. Will wait for your show report, instead

Thanks @himadri - enjoying the album! Jazz rock at its energetic best on this track. All four artists played wonderfully and in sync. Of course the biggest love goes to Mohini and Lydian, the Indian wunderkinds. (Also can’t help but think of how Rahman, besides being a phenomenal musician/composer, promotes talent that’s making an international impact). Similarly, Barot and Banks would be so proud of Mohini!
But technically I won’t call this ‘Indian Jazz’ - that term would suggest a fusion with an Indian genre. This (track) is more of Jazz-rock by (some) Indian artists. (The last song in the album, Spark-Plug might borderline pass on as Indian Fusion with Vaidhya’s Veena in it). Not sure who was the composer of this piece - assuming it’s Lydian as his name appears first.
Also liked the Sax artist Erik Marienthal - following him now. The drummer Weckl is wicked!
Guys, you think this album has a Grammy chance? It has has good variety too, thereby appealing to larger audiences. But it’s not from any of the labels. What I liked and found impressive too is the variety of musicians Lydian has collaborated with in this album. And it’s just his first! Let’s hope the sophomore effort would be as strong and yet different.

As a Yellowjackets fan since their first release in 1981, and last release in 2005, I didn't even think this band was still around as I see this 2022 release. I have a lot of their stuff on vinyl as well. This my CD collection...
Anyway, great band, though members have changed over the year. The only consistent member seems to be Russell Ferrante (sax), Will Kennedy (drums) from '87 on. Haven't heard any of their new stuff since my last buy with "Altered State" in 2005.

For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
