Nice player with prodigious chops that he doesn't use to the exclusion of
everything else. That alto player is no slouch either.

Interesting player. I watched a couple other of his clips, he's got a
thing for deconstructing the changes at times in a Dali-esque way. I
thought at times to great affect, but then sometimes it seemed to get
away from him.

Yes! I know what you mean, but at least he never stops searching!

They used to call that "inside, outside". If I remember it right you once
went to a clinic with a well known player who played that way and who told
you that at time things didn't work out exactly so you just have to listen.
I can't remember who that player was though.

Good memory Charlie, that was more than 5 years ago. The clinic was
Brian Blade, John Pattatuci, and Danilo Perez. (Wayne's group at the
time but he wasn't part of the clinic) The thing about those guys is
they were operating their inside outside, as you call it, on a
collective level, and to the point of leaving all form behind at
times, but not the sense of a trio all reaching together. Scott Hess
seems to go off more on his own, rising above the changes but not
necessarily the form which still is grounded by the other two. So I'm
not quite hearing it as the same thing exactly. Not saying that to
diminish it, just pointing out it's a little different.

I agree, although his playing has those type of tendencies their conception
( Shorter's group) as to that type of thing was much more polished. That's a
tricky one, it's good to have an understanding with the other players
beforehand or disaster is immanent. He handles it well and averts such
crises situations.

Yeah, I agree. It's a balancing act, but that's why it's compelling.
I think those guys have plyaed together quite a bit seeing how they
show up together in a lot of clips. btw.. My earlier post should
have said:
" but IN the sense of a trio all reaching together." my typo took it
to the opposite meaning.
