This is *real* jazz ftr. You should tell your buddy about it.

They're both real jazz IMO, just trying to achieve different goals. For example, I love Pharaoh Sanders and David Sanborn, but the latter goes more toward pop stuff while the former sticks to more spiritual, funky excursions. And then there are guys like Sadao Watanabe who have swung between both extremes.

It doesn't have to be one or the other though.

And I'm always checking things out, so it's not like I'm done exploring jazz in any way.
But currently (small steps), the most complex jazz CD I have is probably still that Kendrick Scott Oracle album.

I was being ironic gents. I just wanted to change the subject to better jazz.

One man's better jazz is another man's ass.

And for the record, Allmusic's editor's choice section is a fantastic source of good music.
Don't spit on that bro.

1. What?
2. It's pretty inconsistent imo

I find it easily worth keeping up with. Some misses, but enough hits to more than make up for it. I'm looking forward to checking the new albums out each month.

Good for you but what does Allmusic have to do with anything?

lol I just realized I read that post where you mentioned "All That Jazz" as "Allmusic".

I don't even know of that website.

Like learn how to get banned from one of the most lenient sites on the interwebz?
