Title: What am I not getting?
Review: I picked this up to try and expand my horizons in music and honestly this leaves me cold. The recording quality is stellar, the playing is great, yet the recordings themselves meander around with no direction... for 10 minutes, and then they end. I discern no cohesive melodies. I like jazz, or at least I thought I did, but aren't songs, even jazz songs, supposed to have some sort of patterns? I chalk the universal praise of this cd to mass hysteria and being too afraid to stand up and say, "You know what? This is boring." There seems like there should be dialogue going on, because this seems like background music from a movie. If you're trying to round out a collection, this could pass, but if this is your first taste of jazz head straight for the desert.
