AllenLowe Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 allright classical people - years ago I knew Pat Zimmerli as a very fine young saxophonist in the area of Hartford Connecticut. Well, looking around I see he has become a classical (neo classical?) composer. Been listening to some of his stuff and I find it god-awful. Sorta like bad PBS new-age bored-of-the-dance stuff. anyone else have an opinion? Quote
JSngry Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Sounds like he's had a very interesting life! Him and Madden made a great team for a long time, but I think he stayed on past his prime. Maybe that's why his music is like it is...life in the NFL does that to a man, ya' know. Quote
AllenLowe Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 that explains the music - traumatic brain injury. Quote
JSngry Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Ok, I'm listening to hi MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/patrickzimmerli and...it's not not good. But I dunno.....it's like...50 or 60 years too late or something. But he does cut a dashing profile! I mean, yeah, but...mmmm....sounds to me like he's a pop-/azz guy at heart, and a not necessarily uninteresting one. I'm listening to "Take Wing" & hearing...Monday Michiru, of all people, only Monday writes this type thing in an essentially pop-song format and that focuses the essences instead of diffuses them, which is unfortunately what I'm hearing here. And then there's "The Shadow Of Your Smile", which I'm not sure I get at all.... Sounds like a talented cat to me, but...just not relevant to my lifestyle. Quote
JSngry Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Of course, if he were to join the board, I'd re-listen, re-evaluate, realize how hip a motherfucker he really is, and spend the rest of my life currying favor with him! Quote
AllenLowe Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Posted November 25, 2009 he was a bit of a prodigy as a tenor saxophonist around Hartford in the '80s - could really play, too. Oh well. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 He looks like a guy who might kill my dog and laugh. Quote
