Denzil Best

Ohhh.

5. He became depressed because of insecurities about his position as a composer.

xp - yeah, i have downloaded stuff, cds, records, and some cassettes - a bag of stuff that my friend gave me that he dubbed from things when he was in hs and college. He & I have pretty similar tastes.

I should make a looser list Sarah jazz list, I guess.

yay!

Like, I have almost no Kirk on CD, but I have ten or twelve things on LP. But I have three or four times the amount of Coltrane on CD than compared to LP. Both of those are completely understandable disparities, but then with others the reasons for them become subtler.

Anyway, what I mean is that they don't all have to be heavy hitters.

And some things you'll grow into, or some things you won't.

probably my one preference would be for stuff with interesting drumming - because i'm a nerd like that.

Haha. Then I won't recommend anything Denzil Best is playing on. Unless you like understatement.

i'm fine with understatement if it's good.

I used to collect requiems, now I'm more into "ascentions"

Ulmer's rad. He put out a CD of blues a few years ago that's really good. Birthright.

I listened to this yesterday, I liked it a lot.
