Why haven't you listened to the jazz AOTY yet?

I had, it ain't that good

Injuries was better

I thought this could have done with being a bit less complicated. Sometimes, two or three chords felt like too much and the rhythm section's vamps should have been shorter and more simplistic.

Because jazz is dead

>>72545088
I did listen to it and it's far from the best jazz album this year. It just sounds like a worse version of Fire Orchestra and Fire Orchestra isn't even that good.

It's pretty fantastic. I love the title track in particular. The way the bass and drums clash over the piano kinda just breaks my head whenever I hear it. Collin's got this beautiful chord progression/melodic idea with loads of pretty voice leading but the bass and drums are playing this really disjointed accompaniment with a bunch of really sharp, sudden accents that trip the melody up all the time. It's got this compelling sense of nervousness and of constantly being in motion, but never being able to move forward. Even when the piano starts to gel with the weird rhythmic pattern in the accompaniment, the song ends right as it feels like they're finding their feet. It speaks to me as a shit dancer who can't get moving till I'm drunk enough and the night's nearly over.
