i don't know.....it must be me....i must be getting old.....I just do not understand this sonic "dissonance" and apparent disregard for melody. There is technique that could be considered a "new sound" yet is it musical? Certainly herbie and pat metheny could not be wrong in utitlizing him......or is it a case of the emperor's new clothing? Then again many great masters were not quite understood when they first came out...and history has proved the nay sayers wrong.
I love coltrane, monk, and other far outside players. But this player confounds me.
Are there any objective standards I can apply here? Do you love it? Does it speak to you and fill your soul?
