Brian Bromberg’s well-written and insightful article stays in my mind. I also like your sly humor that appreciates Jon Irabagon’s “gallows humor” and slips in puns like “way out West” in Mark Turner’s review. You really listen and refer to meters and theory. Downbeat need your West Coast balance.
It’s all true. I had more to write, but I had to trim the message due to word count. Such as that it’s impossible to understand or actually appreciate Irabagon’s music without getting his sense of humor. Too much jazz writing is dry. You went further and profiled his personality. There’s more.
