Duke Ellington.
I'm apparently the only one on this board who (has heard it but) doesn't love it. I don't think it sucks; I just don't understand why it's getting rave reviews. There's other jazz sax players/composers around who are making more interesting music imo.
Now you're talking!

Astute observation, Reid. You KNOW he's heard both! And the (long) album has a lot of strings and choir on it, which I find to be pretty cheesy. It's a diverse album and I like that he's trying to revitalize some older subgenres of jazz, but personally, I don't find it worthy of the hyper boil it's getting. As always, ymmv.

Easy for myself:
"The Epic" just came out in the right and perfect time for my ears ;-), it`s in my top 5 for this 2015, but see, that`s just me No Pride ... love the concept, the musics, etc. ... and yes, probably there`re more jazz sax players/composers.
Cheers!.
