new picture?

I would like to hear that; I don't think his Blue Note era stuff has held up well, but when I talked to him (I think it was the '90s) he was most proud of the soundtrack/synth work he had done. And I think this one is pretty cool:

Really? I like the Blue Note and Prestige albums, but put them in a different bucket than the soundtracks. His film scoring is pretty excellent (and I have not seen The Intruder Within).

I find Melle's soloing on the Blue Notes and Prestiges to be....well, a bit amateurish. I don't think he was at the level he wanted to be at.

In the context of the time period, I thought Melle's Blue Note and Prestige  albums quite interesting and enjoyable.
