Orpheus - No problem that you didn’t care for the MMW. I am a bit surprised but can handle differences in taste AND always appreciate getting a politely delivered alternative point of view. I don’t listen to hip hop on any regular basis. If that groove on Track 1 of MMW’s Friday Afternoon is typical of hip hop, maybe I need to start listening more!
From your exchange with Rok it sounds like you and he are more traditionalists with respect to your jazz music preferences. As a general rule I have to agree with your assessment of contemporary music/jazz and would extend that to a LOT of modern art. I don’t we are evolving. I think we are DEvolving. Good stuff is the exception to the crap that seems the norm these days BUT exceptional good stuff is out there.
Jafant - saw your one liner re Medeski, Martin Wood. New to you? or familiar with their stuff?? Very good musicians I think, even though some of their compositions can be a challenge listening-wise.
Salve all.
