Hey all,
What are people's take on LTJ Bukem's *Journey Inwards*? I find some of
the textures extraordinarily beautiful, but as a longstanding jazz fan and
amateur jazz musician, I have the same reaction to this album that I do
with Peshay's *Miles from Home*: it's in many cases great dance music,
but as jazz it is sometimes cringe-inducing. (Dodging slings and arrows)
I know this is sacrilege, but it tends to irritate me when little "jazzy"
cliches (horn stabs, canned crowd noise(!), etc.) are thrown in at a
superficial level, as "flavor." 4hero's Two Pages, for me at least, is
much better in this regard; their music seems to have much more of a deep
feeling for what is at stake in jazz. I know I'm out of line, but
enough about me. What do you all think?
Dale
