a lot of carter's lines remind me of shorter's nefertiti

[MrMbland]

Beautiful balanced piece ,,,Very aptly named..

Thanks for posting this gold.........

ps: as Howard Moon said "some people just can't handle the freedom of jazz". I think free jazz or improv would give them an aneurism .... 8~))

...someone please explain to me how this is not music. (beautiful! thanks for sharing...)

[bobmonsen]

(Cont.) It also seems that som of the people who may be open to "noisy" or more complex music prefer it when it's backed up by a conventional or steady beat, meaning they only need to concentrate on one or at most two elements at a time. Nothing wrong with that, but I'd take William Parker & co over most music these days.

Thanks for posting, and thus spreading the Vision fest vibe.

I'd argue Parker provides plenty of pulse but it's not one set in stone, one that you can tap your feet to. Aside from it's fairly conventional make-up, each player in the band play more complex narratives, often at the same time (even if one may step forward, so to speak) and so you either need to concentrate more, or just let yourself go. My impression is that some of the "I don't understand" people just haven't taken the time to listen. It's not music that grabs a casual listener immediately.

[psudds89]

people listen to this and think "I CANT UNDERSTAND" when it's really pretty conventional...typical instrumentation, allotted solos...it's just the absence of a literal pulse that i think throws people's head inside out

[fonfeluch]

you need to have some previous life experiences which had made you in the mood for this kind of music, or just start listening to this kind of music with works of charles mingus, everething will be clear for you then :) take care

[GentleGinjeet]

I don't get why people give you thumbs down. You stated a legitimate question, not a critique. Emotions? Mine is "being lost", "chaos", "suffering", etc. (don't think that today's pop music can go this deep in these)

[zojanyo]

someone please explain to me how this is music- what kind of emotional signifigance could this possibly have?

[boornos]

Maybe you haven't noticed this (2.10 - 2.45) beautiful part of Carter's solo, damn lyrical melody with "uneasy" background.Check it.
