I feel the same way. Hard to lock in on a lot of it. I do remember as a teenager in the 70s loving "Birds of Fire", I. Put it on today after hanging on this thread, and it just does not work for me anymore. But I understand why some might like it. Seems like its stuck in its own special time and has not aged well for me.
Still alive and well...
I suppose I was mostly thinking in terms of MO. That was the group which managed to find its way into the discussion.
I certainly don't mean to be critical of JM. It's just that in more recent years I think I have come to better understand what musicianship entails. A lot of overplaying goes on in music and when it begins to serve not the music but the individual, I'm not sure that can be said to be great musicianship. I'm probably arguing a bit of semantics in the end ...
