Lineup note
Bags' Groove (Take 1) into But Not For Me (From The Album Bags'Groove)

Bags' Groove (Take 1) by Kenny Clarke off Bags' Groove (2016) belongs here because But Not For Me (From The Album Bags'Groove) by Miles Davis and I Want To Be The Boy To Warm Your Mother's Heart (Live at The Aragon Ballroom, July 2, 2003) by The White Stripes provide a sharp two-step that deepens the emotional arc after Rock 'n' Roll With Me (Live) by David Bowie. They keep the energy steady and change the palette without cutting the thread.. But Not For Me (From The Album Bags'Groove) is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.

Track context
Bags' Groove · 2016
