Title: Didn't get it
Review: With the possible exception of the title track,I don't hear any "songs" here.They're interesting reflections on Bill Evans' style,but I just hear a lot of beautiful chords arbitrarily strung together.For me,this describes a lot of jazz,where the solos are pyrotechnically dazzling,the sheer proficiency of the playing is stunning,but there lacks the core,the soul of the thing,which is the song.Mays' work with Metheny and his other solo albums(with the possible exception of "Street Dreams")are incredible,so there's no doubting his genius.I guess if something is both complex and elusive,a lotta people think it's art.Well,some of the time it's crap.
