Possible connections...

...between album titles
It occurred to me (relatively) recently that Roy Harper's 'Flat, Baroque and Berserk' was probably a typically wacky/flippant riposte to Davy Graham's 'Folk, Blues and Beyond'.
Along the same lines, but (perhaps) more obviously there is Arthur Blythe's 'Lenox Avenue Breakdown' and Tim Berne's 'Fulton Street Maul' - both of these guys are alto sax players and both albums were released on Columbia (& both excellent IMHO).
My apologies to any folks out there to whom this news is staler than last week's loaf. I'd be more than interested to hear confirmation (or otherwise) of these hypotheses from anyone with sources to which I'm not yet privy.
And, you know, any suggestions in a similar vein...
Ciao
