O-10:
After viewing all your clips, it seems as if young folks are searching for something. The next BIG thing? They seem to be all over the place / map.
My question with it all is, where is the body of work? We hear just a few notes, and we know it's Morgan or Trane or Mingus. With this modern stuff, do these guys have an Identity? A style, a sound, some musical pedigree?
Suppose "Song for my Father" was the ONLY tune we were aware that Silver wrote. Trane did "Giant Steps" and was never heard from again. That's how I preceive the modern 'Jazz'. A few nice tunes here and there, but no body of work. Of course, it could just be that I need to get out more. :)
Thanks for the clips. Interesting stuff. The guy from Nam shows promise.
All this makes me treasure my CDs even more. How lucky we all are, to have been able to see and hear the Masters.
Cheers
