I will have to tend to agree with you Dale. It's not Jazz. And I think
nobody worth their salt is calling this music jazz. These producers have
been inspired by jazz music but are not making jazz.

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
