Not getting rid of anything, and not really "sick of" anything, but in all honesty, I'm in no hurry to hear any "regular" jazz for a while. It's gotta be really special to get to me these days. Been there for so long. Know all the drill(s), etc. It's good and all that, always will be good, but I need something else right now. Too much of a good thing is still too much, and I've had over 30 years of this one good thing. Good things, actually...
Probably just a phase I'm going through, but I'm beginning to understand why Miles felt the need to shake things up by going electric like he did. Complacency sucks, and so does pretending that the way to prevent being harmed by the present is by living in the past.
Not in the mood for alienation either, so the angst and emo scene, no matter what the genre, ain't gonna get it. What I'm in the mood for right now is dance music. Just good, propulsive, contemporary-ish dance music that doesn't insult my intellegence by treating me like some kind of Pavlovian plug-in. They're doing some pretty interesting things in the dance music scene right now , and I need to check that shit out for a while. How much of it is going to meet my needs is probably going to disappoint me, but hey...
Art Blakey I know. Masters At Work I just sorta kinda know. Time to remedy that.
If it really is "all good" (after a fashion), why not?
