Navigating is easy. It's the music that is fluctuationsl. That's no secret. But listening to it all in sequence is clarifying. At least it is for me. What I find more and more is that it's the quality of the energy that matters here, less so than the specifics of the content. Although when you get both, hey...

I think it actually reminds me a lot of the cool/“west coast” scene in that respect. Also in terms of how the downtown white musicians engaged with their counterparts - more with older black musicians they idolized than with their black contemporaries. Reminds me of the cool musicians and their musical relationship with Basie, Ellington, etc.
