Jazz for aficionados
In regard to the bigger questions that have consistently been raised on this thread, such as old jazz VS new jazz, I think each individual will have to answer that question for themselves. With me, it's all music, and the "old stuff" that's locked in a vault, shall remain there; any new music does not necessarily have to fall into a "genre", but can fall into one of two categories; "like", and "don't like". Enjoy the music. |
O - Yes - I had read that description somewhere (Amazon?). Didn't want to prejudice the game by advertising it as a "fusion" clip. The technical proficiency of the musicians in/on School of the Arts is very high. I personally am taken with Terry Lavitz piano work. He's new to me (I never followed the Dixie Dregs). I also like what Jerry Goodman brings and the fact the guitars are acoustic. This SotA recording is "organic" sounding in the absence of a less overused description and musical. Not a "wood chopper's ball" as can sometimes be the case in fusion. BUT the big question is which of those two categories does it fall in for you? |
