Precisely what I’d have said at your age. But my tastes have changed drastically in the past two years, (party because of exposure to Kenny Smith) so that barely is actually a significant metric.
I would, except I usually wear swim bottoms that cover my entire rear for the sake of modesty
Who are you saying was right?
Yes
There is a saying that youth is wasted on the young, which I have found to be true in my own life at least.
But I disagree, young people like raw talent because it’s flashy and selfish. Taste is saying “yeah, I could sweep pick this entire solo, but would it benefit the entire song?” It’s thinking of the whole more than your own self. It’s choosing not to put chocolate chips in your cinnamon rolls, because it’s just too much.
Oh I just realized you sneakily put words in my mouth. I said taste, you said feeling. Taste is what notes you play, feeling is how you play them.
The ones you mentioned all have feeling, but they choose to play more notes or different notes than I want to hear.
For several of them, they’re trying to see what’s possible. But for me listening, I’m more interested in what’s probable.
Having them as your favorites because of notes per second is what’s typical for your age.
With exception of Noam and Bela, I love listening to the ones you named. But they’re not my favorites, nor would I call them best
Man, now I miss my family…
Ooooohh Deeaaaaaaaaaatthhhhh…
Got em!!
Actually, Eddie is amazing, extremely tasteful, and makes me want to learn saxophone…
I’m not commenting on the rest of y’all’s argument because of the linguistic conflation I pointed out
You seriously couldn’t come up with anything better?
