This is a great track on the 'Bossa Nova U.S.A.' album! Paul Desmond's alto is a bit short, I could listen a lot longer to his impeccably smooth sax tone! The album cover much reflects the laid-back sound of this track! Dave Brubeck, at that time, didn't have to worry about CO2 emissions ! I also like the 'Theme for June' track!

Relaxed listening to two jazz greats. Look at the size difference between Paul Desmond‘s alto sax and Gerry Mulligan‘s baritone sax. I admire those baritonists, takes a lot of breath to handle such a giant of an instrument!

The first track of this album, Neophilia 2006, reminds me of ‚52nd Street‘ of Bob Mintzer‘s ‚The Body Acoustic‘!

Yes....a similar mix of bass clarinet and percussion.

I in no way can add anything constructive to this conversation.

Other than I appreciate the musicians that play Jazz.

But some of us just will never enjoy it and I actually wanted to like it..... but 10 minutes in I'm out .

The closest to Jazz I like is Frank Zappa.

So unfortunately I had to add Jazz to the genre's of music I just don't get along with country and Hip Hop .

But absolutely no shade thrown on others that do enjoy it .

If you like Zappa - you may be more apt to like Fusion (cross between rock and jazz). If you go to Jazz901.org you can stream the Fusion program that goes from 7 - 9PM EST tonight. I happen to like both straight ahead Jazz and Fusion. Zappa leans towards the Fusion side of things. A classic example of Fusion is Return To Forever's Romantic Warrior.
