OMG I think this calls for me to recall my ambassador and break off diplomatic relations with you! Just kidding. Every person their own music critic is my motto. Like what you like. It just struck me as odd because although the 2nd quintet may seem a bit recondite for your average pop listener, I've always imagined this would be pretty mainstream stuff for people who are seriously into jazz. Obviously I imagined wrong!

You don't call it noodling. 👍

Prompted by the Vibes / Monk thread.

It's not that I "don't like" it in the stricter sense of the word. If someone else would play it in my presence I'd not run away in horror. It's just not nearly near the top of my list of "active" preferences, style-wise overall. And since there is SO MUCH (other) music to listen to and to explore as well you just naturally make choices in your "go-to" recordings. If this labels me as a "moldy fig in modern jazz", then so be it.

As Big Beat Steve noted just because you don’t like a style or type of music or whatever you’d like to call it doesn’t appeal to you doesn’t mean it’s not great music.

100%. Jackson and Monk are great complements (I often find Jackson can be a little boring when Monk is not around) but I don’t hear any influence.

I will have to agree that premium prices for a VG/VG LP is neither a good investment for listening or for display. Even a high price for a mint first pressing seems obsessive, I want recordings I can hear, not frame and admire.

never mind.

Okay thanks. Loud and clear. You have saved me a listen. Weird that these don't get reissued.

I was about to jump in to say exactly that. Sorry - I should have been clearer. I am talking about Monk's timing more than the harmonic thing. I think it is easier to see harmonic descendants.
