Schubert,
Thats the thing, I can hear heart/soul from all player in Shorter's band. They have been together for almost 20 years, and are playing in a very advanced style. Their interplay is right up there with Miles great late 60's group, which had Wayne Shorter, not surprisingly, in it.
I am not offended by your viewpoint in the least and will ponder on it for awhile. It is always welcome.
I also hear what you hear in Gonzalo Rubalcabla. I hear the same with Gregory Porter. Hard to get heard without the talent they have been given and developed.

Nsp, I am one of the people in the past on this thread, who did not give Wynton his due. Much of my problem was his stanch neoclassical approach to Jazz music. This is Jazz and this isn't. I think you can tell where I am on that.
We mentioned if everyone took his approach the music Jazz would be in a museum. There was never any doubt of his musical ability, and how darn good his bands are.
This is a long thread and as is the case with long threads it tends to repeat. An opinion someone has 3 years ago or even a shorter period, may have changed or hardened. Mine on Wynton has softened. I do have most everything he did till he started putting out 3-4 records a year, around 2000, and I lost track. I still pick up the stuff I don't have. I even have 'Blood in the Field'. I think now you have to be looking for something wrong to find it with Wynton.
Anyway, now you have an idea of what Frogman was referencing.

Pjw, I looked at the other upcoming acts at the Jazz Standard; I would be broke and smiling. |
Thank you Schubert. My WW2 father-in- law passed a couple of months ago. He always said only 18 year olds could have achieved what they pulled off in Pacific. |
Yes, I do believe he was talking about young and dumb, but the young encompasses many things, Strength, agility, speed, and Dumb is basically the same as brave, just a different side of the coin. Are you dumb or brave to get out of your foxhole and attack? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA-Uc6mjX6c |

Schubert, Loved Paul Bley! Have not seen or heard that CD. Looks like SACD only, but I will get it if it is dual layer. |

But the problem is clearly the hearts of men running cold in current people, apart from the creator. There were guns in my high school parking lot, in gun racks, never thought of as a weapon against others.
Mehldau sees this, he just looks at it through different eyes and worldview.

Twirl away!
Be sure and ask for permission to twirl. In 20 years it may be looked at as evil behavior towards the weaker sex. |
