Brethren and sisthren,
I went to bed too early last night and woke up around
2am (South London time). I needed a sound to feed my
soul, make the moment complete, you know, so I
stumbled to my collection and started to dig.
I finally settled for Charles Lloyd's Live in
Copenhagen with Petruciani, Side B. I felt elation and
sweetness. If the cats at the DEA were hip to sound
they would ban that record for its high, high content.
Then it occured to me that maybe a silent majority of
us are just jazz heads in search of a sound thats both
innovative and hip to the times we live in. Especially
since Wynton Marsalis and his regressive cohorts
declared that cloning and rehashing was better than
plain trying to kick your shit whichever/however.
No wonder cats like Miles and Lester Bowie expressed
contempt for his regressiveness and overall blandness.
But I digress, the question is are we just jazz heads
in search of the in sound from way out??
