Last songs on albums

"You Set the Scene" from Forever Changes

 

The End -
The Beatles, from Abbey Road

Quite amazing in all it's simplicity;
The last LP track on their final album, which is also the last song recorded collectively by the most incredible band ever.

 

Lotus Blossom--which closes Duke Ellington's "And His Mother Called Him Bill" This is the greatest closer ever, in my opinion.

Hello Little Girl--which closes Duke Ellington's "Jazz Party". A wild studio jam with vocalist Jimmy Rushing and a trumpet solo by Dizzy Gillespie. It ends the album by blowing the roof off of the place.

Portrait of Mahalia Jackson--which closes Duke Ellington's "New Orleans Suite" A stately, lovely piece after all of the excitement before it.

Dreaming of the Master--which closes the Art Ensemble of Chicago's "Nice Guys"

Jazz From an Unknown Planet--which closes Sun Ra's "Cosmos"

Theme for Nana--which closes McCoy Tyner's "Focal Point"

Ruby My Dear--which closes McCoy Tyner's "Trident"

Dolphin Dance--which closes Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage"

Blessed Relief--which closes Frank Zappa's "The Grand Wazoo"

Pinocchio--which closes Miles Davis' "Nefertiti"

For Harry Carney--which closes Charles Mingus' "Changes Two"

Spain--which closes Chick Corea's "Light as a Feather"

 

A fitting end to a incredible career.

Surprised this hasn't had a mention:



Jethro Tull - "Wind-Up" (Aqualung)

 

Levee is the definitive slamming the door shut on an album, only A Day In The Life even comes close.

a personal favorite ender of mine has always been All Mixed Up from the Cars debut.
