  • I honestly think this music (or any music for that matter) does not go beyond ANYONE's understanding. Music is a form of expression, he is expressing himself through his unique way of playing his horn. What it means to you when you hear it, is exactly how he wants you to perceive it. He is really just playing straight from the heart.

  • Fair point. Personally I like the squeeks, but then I enjoy my washing machine rattling the saucepans in my kitchen. It's a shame we never got to see the whole solo. My point is not to diss other players, I stopped it a few years ago because a) we have to recognise they have mastered their personal form of expression, e.g. Cezanne was a master but not to everyone's taste b) it's disabling for people who want to succeed in self-expression, though maybe I should care less what others think.

  • this cat is one of the GIANTS on tenor...listen to his work with art blakey in the early 60s...

  • john gilmore is NOT expressing himself...he's a conduit for the original vision of SUN RA.

  • Can I get a tenor transcriptions of that?

  • stupid coon

  • hes reaching for an intensity of expression in a very personal language

  • @barisax42 exactly, if it blew person A's mind, it was supposed to do that, if it pissed person B off, it was supposed to do that

  • @jibsmokestack1 ---- "Yeah! Yeah! That's amazing! Yes! Yes!!" This is what everyone who is SITTING there is thinking... No. That was sarcasm. They're probably thinking... "Oh my. He's on drugs." And I say 'sitting' because people are up dancing??? No. No one is enjoying what's happening here. How 'bout you Jibsmokestack1 take this solo and put it in your car CD player and groove with it down the road. Doubtful. You're a terrible person.

  • @budnowerlater Idiot!!

  • we saturnites have different taste in music. go listen to winton marsalis and help him bash with a smile everyone that threatens his bland music.

  • Beautiful reminds me of the Chod practice. Excellent for new neuron growth also!
