Good LORD!!!

What do they want?

I hope it's just computer problems or such. He's a fun guy!

The Milhaud is in a category by itself, imo. I know I'm in the minority, but that "type" of Copland does nothing positive for me. The point is that they're programming cliches, usually done to be "modern". They're no such thing. They are "favorites" and if they sell tickets to fund more adventurous programming (maybe even a commission or two?) or better music education) then more power to them. You have a nice day with it ok? 😃

Part Of The Search has long been a favorite of mine.

Jack McDuff:

yeah, the King Super 20 octave key is a dead giveaway, give the face and bald head.

Here's another one by Lester: And one by Yusef:

Correct.

Jesus i an using my phone an am stretching the image to a realm of gloriously marginal readability Fact. No longer an I going to further engage with willful technical and mental incompetence. Fact

Just make the damn thing bigger and you can read it just fine. Use a touch screen if you have too

Proving is done in the realm of comparison. What is your real. Of comparison? The liner notes are quite legible at a higher resolution. Use your phone to see

Expand the image to read it .

What do I think? I think there's too much capitalization there, that's what I think!

Facts would be looking at the structures of the themes and then what is done with them. The themes are simple. Fact. They aren't developed for shit. Fact. They don't do anything other than state themselves and plod around before moving on to the next one. A little bit opinion, but still fact once considered outside of the vacuum of inability to weigh things both objectively and relatively. "Compared to what?" as they say. Feel free to present counter-facts, please. And show your work. Oh, tell Glenn Gould that he's dogmatic: That album is a hoot!

I Bark then.

Except... yes, you can quantify the "depth" of a piece of music by what the composer/improviser does with the materials at hand. The depth of the material itself is a little more subjective, but it's safe to say that belaboring the obvious as an end to itself is swimming in the shallow end of the pool. But a grown man using water wings in the wading pool is hardly gonna qualify for the Olympics. Do you want to talk music as fact, or sentimentality? I dislike this piece immensely on both counts, but on the factual elements of it's music, I have yet to see anybody make a convincing case in favor of it. So, let's hear your facts.

A bit underwhelming, but still enjoyable enough, mostly for Jimmy Heath starting to feel his way into Coltrane.

Or maybe just informed? Make your case the other way. Go ahead. I'll spot you "a lot of people have liked it for a long time". Stipulated. But that's entirely a sociological point. I'll also stipulate that TTK has a valid point about proto-bachelor pad/bustling urbanity archetype, for whatever that's worth. Not much to me, but the point is certainly valid, and that guy knows his stuff about that stuff. But other than those, what's your point? Are there some compositional subtleties I'm missing? Are the some obvious depth of development that has escaped me? See you at halftime.

I've yet to knowingly hear a Taylor Swift song, so have no opinion about her music. None. The privilege of age, perhaps. As a business and sociological figure, though, she is obviously quite savvy and to this point clearly understands how power works. We'll see how well and for how long. Should be very interesting. Otoh, I have heard the dreck that is Rhapsody In Blue more than a few times and am more than confident in my opinion of it. The curse of age, definitely. It's nothing more than a really bad Super Bowl halftime show just waiting to happen all over again for the first time.
