Admittedly I listen to very little modern jazz and really not very much jazz overall but can anybody explain how any of these albums are better than The Epic?

The simplest explanation is that Kamasi is an average saxophone player.

If The Epic were an appropriate length (an hour or less) and he had an above average bad (for the most part they're as average as he is) the album wouldn't be that bad.

But all of these albums that are even slightly above average are now automatically better than The Epic.

except that he rated Mats Gustafsson/Craig Taborn and Ambrose Akinmusire too low. And the new Nate Wooley is really good but isn't on there.
