Talk about jazz and/or how much practice you're getting done.
What have you been listening to? What'd you think of it?
What is hard bop's logical conclusion?
Favourite fusion record?

I've listened to a lot of Sonny Rollins over the years, and I've come to the conclusion that I just don't really like him. He's a very decent ballad player, when he's basically channelling Bean, but on up-tempo numbers I find his soloing mostly unpleasant - simply not tuneful enough. Many times he just seems to run out of ideas but keeps going at it regardless, it gets hard to listen to.
I know I'll get some flak for this, but I find him pretty overrated.

pretty pissed about not seeing Brad Meldhau but whatever. been relistening to some albums since I can't gout, the most recent being pic related. volumes from this collection are sometimes hard to get but it's good quality recordings (it was radio broadcatsed) and always top notch musicians
as for Sonny Rollins, yesterday I listened again to East Broadway run down, pretty underated record of his

>simply not tuneful enough
Obviously depends on the tune in question (anyone with a discog as large as his is bound to have recorded a few duds) but on the whole I'm inclined to disagree.
He's pretty well regarded as one of the pioneers of motivic improvisation and even in entirely improvised settings as on Blue 7, he's pretty great at crafting incredibly well paced and inventive improvisations built off thematic material. Whether he does so well is a matter of personal taste of course, but I think it's unfair to say his solos lack melodic content when they're often built out of strong melodic ideas as vehicles for variations/jumping off points.

I guess hard-bop's logical conclusion is really post-bop
I've been listening to a lot of 80's Wynton Marsalis lately and I think those albums are pretty underrated and anyone who digs Miles' second great quintet should check them out
also here's Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers in 1982 with Wynton and Branford Marsalis

It's almost shameful how hard Wynton worked to get a good pedigree. He's like a show dog.

cant decide if i like JJ or Curtis Fuller more

Jazzlet here. Would it be more accurate to describe this as a rock album despite using instrumentation commonly found in jazz?

Listened to my vinyl copy of this earlier. Honestly sometimes I think I like Dolphy best in these straight ahead type settings more than the freer stuff he did later.
