Wavy Gravy
I was looking through my collection of old CDs last night and saw a track on Kenny Burrell’s classic album Midnight Blue with the title Wavy Gravy. I hadn’t noticed the name before, but thought it might do as a theme tune for my Cardiff colleagues who work on gravy waves gravitational waves…
Anyway, the album was recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on April 06-07, 1963, and originally released on Blue Note (4123). The complete personnel listing is: Kenny Burrell (guitar); Stanley Turrentine (tenor saxophone); Major Holley, Jr. (bass); Bill English (drums); Ray Barretto (congas).

Interesting that this fellow acquired his name in 1969, 6 years after the Kenny Burrell track was recorded…

It doesn’t account for the title of this track, though, as it was recorded six years before this event…

Perhaps they both worked on gravitational waves?
