This thread has been one of my favorites on AG. Really great, and people sgarung love of music and not going “violent-nerd” on kit.
I’ve been a jazz head since 7th grade and JC remains a favorite. But my unles, an accomplished and well-regarded bass player, especially swing, hates hard bop. So ymmv.
Eric, I love these suggestions, particularly those who speak of how music grows on you. I felt the same about Sun Ra as you did with JC i think, and have now come to enjoy SR, though it still depends on mood.
However, in the classical realm, no one makes my skin crawl like many Benjamin Britten pieces do.
Thanks for asking the question. Great discussion resulted.
