The sensuality of Alice’s compositions is an imposition on those who were seduced into loving Miles’ impervious cool or Art Blakey’s hard bop sound.

Interesting read. I used to enjoy the writer's Twitter feed pre-elon. Haven't seen it since. She was big on poetry which I think informs her writing style.

I am a hater. In my opinion she cannot write. All gush and superlatives (which makes the topic of this article ironic). I don't think she listens to the music at all. Sorry to be negative.

Totally get it. It is full of flourishes that my journalism professor would have abhorred.

Oh yeah, while I totally feel what the first paragraph is going after, there's a way to word these ideas that is more to the point.
