@@lutz4432 Excellent counter, honestly. And that can work. Her's my key counter to your counter, if you have to "work" at it, or too much, it might not be worth the trouble, based on any possible payoff. There's too much great jazz out there (again, for some, this can be excellent music, we're discussing taste, now, mostly, not good or bad as such) and only so much time, so I key on obvious elements that make me either want to go further or just not invest my time, your mileage may very, as the saying goes. Jazz has always spawned these kinds of discussions, which is great, it's not meant to be, at least all the time, a passive listening experience. Jazz fans CAN often tell you why this performance/composition/interpretation is good or great or not so much. Doesn't need to be pedantic, of course, but strong opinions are one of the things that make active listening, or what makes jazz itself,"worth the time." Cheers.
Favorite track on the album. Drummer killed it
Agreed! Dream State is also a killer track.🔥
I love Kamasi, but this was like 5 musical elements too many.
It all makes sense when you see him live though.
Never heard less swinging jazz. I put it mostly on the over active drumming. Really a nervous energy here.
The drums are pure drum and bass - so much energy!
@@BernardStrange The musicians are good but this music is stagnant for all of its busy-ness..
@@zdogg8 if you find it too busy, try focusing on the journey more than the elements.
